What makes us believe others even though they may let us down?
Is it a case of being a die hard, or is it that we want to believe whatever whoever is telling us?...perhaps it's stupidity? lol do tell.

I think terry goodkind apllies here. "People believe things because they want it to be true, or because they're afraid it's true."
For me. I grew up with this guy. Knew him since kindergarten. He was like my older brother. He could have told me almost anything, and I would have believed him. He did let me down a lot, but I had faith in him. I believed *in him*, so i believed what he said, too, no matter what. I wanted to believe everything he told me was true, because i saw him as so superior to me. I almost thought he could never be wrong. I think that's part of a bond. Ignoring people's flaws or not being able to see them.

@mic11225: So true...I think those who are trusting are also very sensitive and intuitive and those who can't be trusted to do as they say are somewhat insensitive to others. Interesting how that works.
