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.
