Trust

Rambling thoughts for the last two weeks did not stay long enough to make me write. Relationships were a constant theme though. My better half( which he is really), when faced by a suggestion from me or new idea about what he can or should do, invariably has the following mental responses: a) surprise that there is room for improvement in a personage like him, who is perfection itself, since somebody else had this idea b) wonder why the idea occured so suddenly and why he was not given notice before being asked to execute the idea c)consternation that now he will have to find time from his hectic schedule to think about doing this d)worry about who will do this e)a hundred and one reasons why it should not or cannot be done. The above ideas will be followed by exasperated expostulations about how he cannot do this and that and so much more, and after a few days, will do it. His ability to rise above his mental processes and allow himself to go along with my desires is what makes him so special for me, because i know that it is an effort for him, and he makes this effort just for my sake. Many of us take these things for granted, but seemingly small things can be big for many reasons. Understanding between two people is usually instinctive, and evolves to become greater with the passage of time, but only if its basis is mutual trust. If one trusts and respects the other person, one takes many more problems and travails happily and willingly. but if trust is not there, one doesnt want to wait, tolerate, contenance or go on , whatever the other person says.The achievements of the person you trust are a source of pride for you, and you gladly help that person follow his dreams, because your greatest happiness is in seeing that person happy. You want to be enveloped in the glowing embrace of his warm, sincere smile, when success knocks at his door. On the other hand,It is so refreshing for you to be understood, given space, never suspected or questioned, and respected and appreciated. The only guilt you witness is guilt at not making you happier than you are. Could one be cuter than that? sometimes, possessiveness can rear its head, but its lovely to belong to somebody,and especially someone who knows how to care in such sweet ways. What makes me trust? I cannot understand this, but I guess the heart always knows. It knows who cares and who doesnt. One can tolerate everything, but not cheating or untruths, and one knows who wants good things for you, and would not let you down on purpose. Trust helps you rise above differences, and jealousy and possessiveness, and gives you peace of mind and warmth in your hands.It gives you a reason to smile and look forward to the dawn of each new day, because the one you love, trust and appreciate so much is there. It is this feeling of knowing that the other person would want you to be happy and have the best of circumstance, whether one is in a relationship or friendship or marriage or any social contact, is what fostrers trust, affection, respect, love.. and makes all the difference.
