Who do you trust? (mystic, verse)

[michel]

Well, who do you trust? I am not sure that this warrants a poll, because I can see the answers being so diverse.

Do you trust yourself?
Do you trust the politicians who legistlate for the country in which you live (That should be interesting) ?
Do you fully trust your God/Gods?
Do you trust your life partner? (put that way so as to include any meaningful relationship)......and if so, totally?

[MysticSang'ha]

Trust with what? My money? My children? My home? My life?





All of the above?




Peace,
Mystic

Do you trust yourself? I would trust myself to make the right decision because I can be quite cold and calculated.
Do you trust the politicians who legistlate for the country in which you live? Oooh no.

The other two examples weren't applicable to me.

Apart from that, I always trust the Dharma. Whenever something goes wrong, or even if nothing is wrong, I can always take something comforting and positive from the Buddha's teachings.

Not entirely. I certainly don't trust myself to not unintentionally hurt people.

About as far as I can spit them.

Do you trust your life partner? (put that way so as to include any meaningful relationship)......and if so, totally?

Yes and yes. She's one of the few I truly and honestly trust.

With whatever you deem is worthy of trust; if all apply to you, yes, then all of them. If it is just you, your life, then so be it; washtever in your life you think ought to have trust.

I trust myself, as in my judgement and my wife. That is it.

Do you trust yourself?

With most things, yes. With the exceptions of my RF addiction, chocolate and accumulating more and more rescued exotic birds who need homes.

Do you trust the politicians who legistlate for the country in which you live (That should be interesting)

I trust politicians less and less yet my interest in politics is ever increasing. Maybe I feel the need to keep an eye on 'em.

Do you fully trust your God/Gods?

Sadly, not as completely as I should. But sometimes I am nearly there.

Do you trust your life partner? ......and if so, totally?

I trust him probably 85% of the time but when you've been betrayed in your past, its honestly tough to go all the way to 100% again with anyone.

Yes, though sometimes it amounts to simply trusting myself to be predictable.

Certainly not. But I trust the beaurocrats even less. At least politicians have the fear of being voted out to keep them superficially in line.

Do you fully trust your God/Gods?

Yes, I trust my gods. Even when things might not exactly be "good", I trust Them to act in ma'at.

Don't have one at the moment!
