Trust and Honesty are twins that are best when showcased together as one whole, the moment they are separated it changes the dynamics of our space. But can we really handle trust- her being very delicate and fragile ? Are we truly able to face the fists of honesty- him being very strong and often so forceful that diplomacy is thrown out the window?
very often we see trust standing by the bus stop dirty and bruised , dehydrated and in need of care and kid gloves; and we question the fact the she appears to be homeless and wonder why is it that her value isn't truly seen and appreciated.
like a shot of J Wray and Nephew's over proof white rum Honesty packs a punch, burns your throat after you've swallowed; you don't feel it a first but give it a few minutes and its all over, its most valued effect is that feeling of wanton freedom. Surprisingly the love for honesty is often face value and he often finds himself alone and lonely seeking acceptance but only find same with the assistance of trust.
I learnt a very valid lesson last weekend with the assistance of a very dear friend - over proof white rum; as a people we are clumsy and often treat trust with way less care than she deserves and abuse her at every chance . Its become such a norm that we don't realize it and though we love to say honesty is the best policy and be honest at all costs we are never prepared for the sting associated with it.
If we are to be truly liberated by trust and honesty then we have to be prepared to deal with the discomfort of the twins and understand that to be totally consumed by anger is more crippling than helpful.
Can I truthfully ask Trust and Honesty to be my friends and be truly ok with the responsibility of their friendship and the heft of their weight ? or am I just another hypocrite opening the door to the twin only to poison their food?
Are you ready to truly be their friend?
