New That's not trust, though
That's - it doesn't matter, so pretend you 'trust'.

I'm not sure how one ever 'teaches how to trust' except, over time and always - by example. All the rest is everything from euphemism to outright obfuscation (the fav tactic when a speaker wants to seem to know - but doesn't know shit.. even about shit).

{sigh}
Ever wonder why Engrish has got a bigger dictionary than just about any language out there? Weasel-words and especially all those blab words: the language of bizness. Mercantilism represents the lowest form of daily activity in any fully human life, so I deduce that - wherever you find the most time devoted to that activity? You'll find the shallowest kultur. Look around. That's my take.

New Trust as such is a fallacy between human beings
Trust as a word really defines what you have discerned about the limitations and boundaries of those who you deal with. Example I have a friend who I would trust to back me up at 10 to 2 odds in a physical confrontation. I also trust him to disappear if a gun comes out. He on the otherhand knows that if a gun comes out he can trust me to stay. This trust is based on many years of learning the other parties boundaries. I trust that an employee will not steal from me is incorrect. What I am trusting is my ability to discern peoples motives and actions in various situations. Therefore I trust myself. (unless there is a good lookin broad involved :))
thanx,
