Emotions and Trust

Emotions are silly wondrous things and it never ceases to amaze me just how much we let them rule our lives— from the decisions we make to the battles we pick in life. When it comes to determining what is important to us, the play a big role as to who we feel we can trust.

Should anything happen to us, are we okay with leaving our kids to that uncle who couldn’t care less about us? Do we want to have Thanksgiving with people who make us feel anything but grateful? Are we willing to buy a car from that salesman who is clearly trying to squeeze us for every penny?

It all boils down to how we feel and whom we can properly trust. And it may sound simple but it is oh so fragile. Look at our country, our world even. Would you say we are a trusting people? Could we be? Look, I know I’m asking the questions but I definitely don’t know the answers. Still, I’m an optimist so I have hope. I’m not sure what it would take us to get there. It may be a whole lot of little things versus one big thing, but that’s all still possible.

In the meantime have a good week and cheers to a lot of productive writing!
