We all live within a world filled with untrust worthy people. Unfortunately people will use each other just to survive. Only it has become harder to trust anyone. We can’t trust the banks! We can’t trust all those ministers. Who can we trust! Only ourselves and it seems todays standing is anything goes. Since those Ministers have made those immoral rules. No wonder society has no trust left.

Nobody has looked after me

Better than I have

Looked after myself!

I’m a giving kind of person

Yet others have wanted

Things too fast!

That’s how I knew

Friendships like this

Could never last

I have only myself to trust

Others have made

To much of a fuss

While I’m living fit

They only wanted to make a hit

Showering there needs

With only greed

Well in the end

Only I will succeed

Because I have no need

For that feed!

    Nice, how devastating it can be when our trust in others is betrayed, and what a shame we have to live in a world where trust is so rare, thanks for sharing

    Great few and true words of human nature Suzan.
    Isn’t it just so sad that we have to put up with these things in life just to survive or we would all end up in Re-hab.

    its true what you are saying, we can only trust ourselves and look out for number one, as when the situation gets out of hand you will be left alone.

    Well done! You can also trust your version of our Creator.

    So true. Unfortunately trustworthiness seems to be headed for the endangered species list.

    Very well stated! I learned a long time ago that I could not trust anyone. It is a very sad state of affairs when you can’t have faith in anything because it always turns its back to you!

    I trust some people long time ago but I don’t think they deserve it now. That is when I only trust myself 100% and hopefully with God’s will I can be happier. I hope you can find nice and understanding friends though.

    Trust is earned. If we ‘give ‘ trust then we are setting ourselves up for failure. Failure is painful. Friend, fan, smile

    It definitely important to take care of yourself by keeping who want more than you can give at a safe distance.
