trust, honesty and promises

Dec 14, 2012 02:22

they say trust has to be earned.

i can't agree much to it.

to me, trust can be lost easily, but to be earned it is very very tough. for once, you broke your promise, there will always lie this doubt.

my trust can be easily given to my friends,but once lost, my trust can't be earned.

this is not about some grand promises, it can be as simple as your words. for i am willing to be held responsible for all my words, i expect the same from your words to me.

i don't like to go back on my words, that's why i don't like to give promises. my words, in my perspective, will be my credits for my friends to trust and believe. but reciprocity is a norm to me, so i expect the same from the rest.

to you, if honesty is important for you towards people you care, so important that you can go back on your words for your friend. i can only say that's really too bad, too bad that we are incompatible as friends of trust.

i have nearly thrown away a close friend because she went back on her words to me, for reasons that she believe were truly for my benefits.

trust is not the same as honesty. i am not that naive to believe that everyone don't lie, that everyone can't lie because i do, in circumstances that i have to. but if you have to lie about your promises to a friend, i can't think of a good reason to every trust your words, your promises. you don't have to tell me everything, but for those that you did tell, i trust, and God forbids that i will ever discover any lies in them.

i don't care if you hold greater responsibility to be honest to someone else. you need not give me your words if you think your allegiance to someone else is stronger. i would be a fool to think i'm the most important one in the world or to anyone, but you would have the choice to decide whether you want to give your words to me - of which if you did give, i expect fulfillment or rather i will blame you if i discover any let down.

i hate to lose friends, for there are not many i am willing to call so. but if you were to be willing to go back on your words to me, i got to say bye.

bye to the days i will give my trust to you, bye to the days i will bare my soul to you, bye to the days i will treat you as my friends - friend of trust.

so please, do not go back on your words for me, for i treat my friends' words like silent promises.

the day i allow and 'forgive' you for going back on your words, will be the day i no longer think you as close friend.

don't ever go back on your words to me. and if you do, don't ever ever ever let me find out. this is my warning.

your petty friend,
Jane

friendship, pain
