“To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.” According to George MacDonald. Sometimes you have to watch his surroundings as one can’t trust everyone you’re close to; for me that meant finding out the hard way. After a long gruesome day in the sun at work the only thing scrambling through my mind was going on that trip to Hawaii. Weeks of saving had gone by, the moment I’d been waiting for was slowly approaching starring into the sky as I seen the sun beginning to set in the west meant my day was coming to an end. I was exhausted, thus my palms were still sweaty and clothes drenched from cutting palm trees with a chainsaw also gathering the falling branches into piles as they were going to be picked up later on via a partnering landscaping company. Furthermore a couple hours went by I finally made it home where I was able to take a well desired cold shower since it seemed the day took forever to end. …show more content…

Sleeping wasn’t an option that night as if I were a little kid waiting to attend the first day of school. Early that morning I asked my brother if he could take me to the bank so I could prepare my spending money for the trip. Arriving to the bank, gently removing my bank card from my back pocket I removed $4,000.00 cash via ATM for the trip not knowing exactly how much I would need or just in case of an emergency. My brother, Dre was next to me in the driver seat looking pondered wondering where I had got the money from calmly telling him that I saved for weeks and took extra shifts at work just to go on this trip to Hawaii. He sat surprised while the 100 dollar bills lied on my lap in a decent bundle which I really didn’t think anything

    I wasn’t even outside but I could feel the warm glow the sun was projecting all across the campsite. It seemed as if the first three days were gloomy and dreary, but when the sun on the fourth day arose, it washed away the heartache I had felt. I headed out of the trailer and went straight to the river. I walked to the edge, where my feet barely touched the icy water, and I felt a sense of tranquility emanate from the river. I felt as if the whole place had transformed and was back to being the place I loved the most. That day, when we went out on the boat, I went wakeboarding for the first time without my grandma. While I was up on the board and cutting through the wake of the boat, it didn’t feel like the boat was the one pulling and guiding me, it felt like the river was pushing and leading me. It was always nice to receive the reassurance from my grandma after wakeboarding, but this time I received it from my surroundings. The trees that were already three times the size of me, seemed to stand even taller as I glided past them on the river. The sun encouraged me with its brightness and warmth, and the River revitalized me with its powerful currents. The next three days passed by with ease, I no longer needed to reminisce of what my trips used to be like. Instead, I could be present in the moment, surrounded by the beautiful natural

    Annette Baier (1929-), defined that “Trusting can be betrayed, or at least let down, and not just disappointed” (1986, p. 235). An example being we can rely on our clock to give the time, but we do not feel betrayed when it breaks, thus, we cannot say that we trusted it; we are not trusting when we are suspicious of the other person, because this is in fact an expression of distrust (McLeod 2006)

  • The Trust Model And Moral Obligation

    256 Words  | 1 Pages

    The trust model, which means that the general citizen takes charge of all matters about the political issue to the representative, has lost much meaning today. Burke thought that serving with mature judgment and enlightenment was the moral obligation of the delegate. On the one hand, people with enough property to possess education and interests had a basis for serving the interests of the poor. So, I think that this trust model implies elitism. Because the public is ignorant, uneducated, and easy to deceive, the representative elitist aspect is revealed to the representative regardless of the will of the public. It is out of the democratic system orbit of modern society. The delegate should not think that many people prefer it because some

    What is trust? Is trust essential for the way we live our everyday life? Trust is a quality or condition of being trustworthy; loyal; reliable. I think trust is an essential way of life because you cannot make a relationship, friendship, a business, or an organization if there is no foundation. Part of that foundation is trust and loyalty because you should be able to depend, rely, and trust others that they will do exactly what is right for them and you. Trust can be broken so quick, it is scary, because once trust is broken it is a lot harder to gain back then when you first gained trust in someone. This relates to my life because my trust with my dad was alerted going into my freshman year.
