If you don't trust life you don't fully trust yourself?
What he says is nice. I fully agree that if you don't trust life you don't trust yourself, because they are one and the same. I think it was Kabir in one of his songs who said something like "Everyone knows that the drop is in the ocean. But it is a rare few who realize that the ocean is also within the drop.". When I come to know myself is when the trust develops for myself, because I can see and experience what it is. Trust comes through experience. Those who do not trust themselves have yet to experience who they are. When through experience I develop trust in myself I automatically experience trust in life. But for me that doesn't mean not taking care of myself. As someone put it so beautifully, "God helps those who help themselves". I think part of the problem is that we look at the events, activity and accomplishments and think that's our life. That's just our fingerprint.
My dad doesn't trust me and I don't know why?
It's a matter of appearances; some people consider it a very personal thing for a young person to have company of the opposite sex in the bedroom, and to be inappropriate whether "anything of a sexual nature" happens or not. First, tell your dad you're sorry you pissed him off and ask him what the rules are for when you have female guests, so you don't piss him off again. Ask your dad to suggest a place you can entertain a female guest when you don't want to be staying around the rest of the family. You might have to entertain your female guests in the kitchen or something, but it's your dad's house and you have to respect his rules. Maybe if you rearrange your bedroom in some way so that the bed area is more separate from the couch/TV area AND you keep the door opened at all times. Or maybe if just one family member joined you and your guest in your room, to serve as a chaperon? These are big maybe's though.
How many people do you completely trust in your life?
Have you heard of the phrase "Trust no one?" Well, how many people in your day-to-day lives do you actually trust? Perhaps I'm being a bit cinical, but the older I get, the more often I've seen my trust being completely violated. What exactly do these people value in their lives if not the trust of their fellow man? Why do people in today's society feel the need to "conquer or be conquered," rather than "love thy neighbor as thyself."? God Bless
