During my trip i am constantly called to size my trust
Am I trusting this, him, her, that price, that place, that street, this situation, this food, this suggestion, and about more or less everything i am called to balance my logic and intuition. People are fast to call me "friend" but I don't want to be suspicious either but you know i am naturally so trusting and I maybe need to be more cautious? Or i keep it up and get by by continuing to trust...
On a trip to a poorer country when I was younger I found a lot of people calling me "friend" very quickly. Usually they wanted to sell me drugs, or, more subtly, to get to know me so I could somehow help them move to the richer country I live in. One does have to be careful.
@Flyinghigh oh and for other awful reasons too, like sex tourism. I am not blaming the people from the poorer countries for wanting to benefit from visitors. But if one is the visitor, one has to be prudent.
Trust sets the condition of a relationship. it doesn’t measure your ability to trust just for that one person that you might not know as well as you think. Personal Boundaries are good!
