My son Caleb O DeBose wrote this a few years ago. Copyrighted 2007 “You must learn to trust yourself before you can learn to trust others.” So many people possess an issue with trust in this world and for various reasons. It can create an environment that can be hard to live in when a person feels like there is no one to trust. Every step has to be cautious and carefully planned out to avoid pain and emotional harm. This can become very tiring and stressful and levels rise due to being constantly on alert. The type of stress can also vary depending on where trust issues lay. There are so many people living on the planet and each individual has their own story to tell, it is impossible to find a universal or simplified method to cope with trust issues. Though this may be the case, I honestly and truly wish to break the barrier that prevents people from trusting one another. I know the first step would seem to be wiping all of the wicked and evil people off the Earth that only care about themselves and use and abuse most everyone’s trust they come by, but perhaps there could be an alternative. Heading in away from that direction we would then need a team of rocket scientist to conjure up some concoction to brainwash those people. I do not believe that would be neither necessary nor attainable either. I would simply ask the question, where do trust begin? With whom does trust begin with rather? For some the answer is quite obvious, but some the answer is just as illusive. I believe a lot people would answer, “It begins with the other person, obviously.” Personally, I do not find this so. Trust begins with the person who is doing the trusting or in other words, yourself. Whether intended or not, the moment we meet a person we make judgments about that person, including the judgment to trust them, from that point on. Caleb O DeBose
