Don't lie

This grainy photo is of a toy at Gentings. It can be read as 2 words - lie and Bao separately, put together it probably means where a "Bao is not telling the truth".

But trust. Trust is over-rated, no?

Yes it is, especially so in a relationship.

A lot of times when someone is being enquired on a matter, the person will turn back and ask, "Don't you trust me?".

Seriously though, how would trusting the person help?

More than often, trust is one-sided. The act of trusting another person will entail someone to let down his defenses and be hurt much more than ever. Trust is misused and over-used.

Look at all the cases of infidelity. One spouse trusted the other, but when the other spouse is about to commit the said act, would this "trust" materialize and stop it from happening? Would the person stop because someone else trusted in him/her?

No. Not a chance.

Trust is a naive idea that serves to cloud the mind and sweeten the lie. It means nothing when a person says it out that the other person is trusted.

If a girl tells a guy that she trusts him, do you think it will make him change his ways? An iron rod will probably work better.

If the person is reliable and trustworthy, even if you don't trust the person, you have no danger of being hurt. But if the person is thinking of committing some sin, no matter how much trust you levy on the person, all you are getting back is hurt, and a bucket load of it.

Wake up, smell the roses and count your blessings. Don't think that all people are as nice as you.

Trust me on this.
