Trust (part 1)

(This is more of a musing than a posting as of yet.)

Trust - what is it and what do you do to get it back when it’s gone?

 My trusty Collins dictionary defines trust as:

“Reliance on and confidence in the truth, worth and reliability of a person, thing or faith.”

And we often talk about trust needing to be earned. But just how do you earn it and when do you know when someone has done enough earning? Can it be earned in the same fraction of time it takes to destroy it or can it only come with time?

I found some really complicated equations on google to do with weighted expectations and the clarity and delivery of said expectations, but nothing that will show me how to learn to trust someone who has repeatedly let me down.

 Hmmmm - more musing needed here.
