I am catching up with posting online my articles.
This is the continuation of the previous article:
ABOUT TRUSTING OTHER PEOPLE - PART 1
ABOUT TRUSTING OTHER PEOPLE - PART 2
ABOUT TRUSTING OTHER PEOPLE - PART 3
So let's continue the story with the trust and about my realisations that came from it.
Thus I have decided to trust my friend and sign the contract with the telephone company in my name. I am in a way in a vulnerable position because if something happens then I will be held responsible unless I clearly prove that it was not me. But for now I will pay the invoices through my bank account and he will give me the money each month. Anyway what came up here is that by signing a contract for an additional line ( adding it to my current contract ) we will get a much better deal rather than if my friend did it himself in his name. Thus we will split the total amount of the invoice in 2 and both of us will pay less. And on top of it the telecommunication company offers us some discount for the next 3 months.
You'll know... we could say that this is something symbolic as I am not going to be rich by getting some discount. But still it shows me that if we ( humans ) learned to trust and live it practically then we would obtain many benefits from it on many levels. Of course everybody must commit to it or otherwise this will not work.
And then there is one more point coming up here. You and your trust might have been abused many times in your life. But if you come to the point when you make an ultimate decision that you will never again trust anybody then you are making a big mistake. Through this decision you are actually causing a lot of harm and suffering to yourself and to others. And in this sense you are no different to those who abused your trust in the past. I am not saying that you should trust anybody and always. But learn how to recognize whom you may trust. Of course you may learn everything about it and still somebody will take advantage of you sometime but still if you want to live in the better world then something must change here.
