What is Trust?

Trust? What is Trust? Is it a belief? Or is it a profound awareness? Or maybe selective acceptance? Is it possibly a denial of choosing? Or could it be a faith? Is it Trust of another? Or denial of oneself? Do we trust in actions shown? Or trust in words previously known? Should we trust what we see? Or deny what we know? Is Trust in another, Denial in ourselves? Or is trusting one's self Denying loyalty of another? Is Trust an action? Or a reaction? Is total trust in another Accepting failure of one's self? Is trusting a way to show love? Or does it show foolishness? Is it a means to an end? Or an end of means? Is it a way to build self-esteem? Or to build character? How about a way to reciprocate Is it a way to build honor? Or a way to become a doormat? Could it be just a cruel game? Making you a pawn of twisted evil? Or a master of loyalties? Is it a science? Or a conscience? Is it good or evil? Is trusting another a twist of roles? Gender roles or placement roles? Does trust mean one is inferior? Does trust in another show weakness? Therefore, making one submissive? Or to be able to show strength? Therefore, making one superior? Does trust establish true dominance? What does trust really mean? Is it a verb or a noun? Is it an instinct? Or a feeling? Is it fiction or fact? Is it better to trust in one's actions? Or to trust in their unspoken words? Do you show trust by giving up integrity? Does it make you a mindless sheep? Keeping you trainable? Or does it make you a while coyote? Carefully disguising mind-control? What does 'Total Trust' imply? Absolute doubt? Or absence of proof? Does it make someone a friend or a foe? Is one's ability to accept trust right or wrong? Is Trust something you can learn? Or is it something you must earn? Is trusting a sign of progress? Or is it brainwashing? Is Trust in another settling for less? Or does that faith in someone give you more? To trust is give faith blindly. Or does it truly open our eyes? Is Trust an emotion? Or a feeling? Do we dare to trust? Or do we trust to dare? When we trust, are we more aware? Or does trust imply that we don't care?
