Merriam-Webster defines trust as the following.
Trust.
1) a charge or duty imposed in faith or confidence or as a condition of some relationship.
2) something committed or entrusted to one to be used or cared for in the interest of another.
Lately as I've been looking back more on life, I've been forced to come to the conclusion that despite my efforts to surround myself with people who I believe to be trustworthy, I have a rat or two in the crowd. This, although my fault and my fault alone, is something that needs to be corrected.When I tell you something personal, I tell you out of the confidence that it is something that only you and I will know, and that is because I have deemed you worthy of my trust. Violating that trust is something that is unforgivable, and changes the dynamic of our relationship. And I'm going to be honest, it's not a change that you or I will like. Breaking the trust of a friend is the same thing as betrayal, and you should consider yourself to be the lowest of the low amongst those who have wronged others.
Don't believe me? For those of you who have read Dante's Inferno, which I'm sure most of you have read due to either High School or College English, you should know what the 9th and lowest level of hell is. In case you don't, though, please allow me to refresh your memory. The lowest level of hell is where Cerebus, the guardian dog of Hell, rests chewing upon 3 people. Cassius, Brutus, and Judas all lay within the grasps of the devil dog's mouths, and they lay there because each of those three has betrayed someone who trusted them. Cassius and Brutus both stabbed Julius Caesar in the back, figuratively and literally, while Judas surrendered Jesus to the Romans after Jesus had entrusted Judas and made him one of his disciples. Despicable characters at the very least.
So please be aware of what you do. Because I am not as stupid as you think I am, and I will find out. And this is a warning that goes out to everyone: Be careful who you put your trust in, you never know who is going to turn their back on you when you need them most.

I am currently a graduate student studying education and will update my thoughts and experiences here periodically. Though the content of my blog may not always be the most intellectually stimulating, I believe that there is always a lesson to be learned from my posts, even if it's just a nonsensical story. I find poetry in ordinary life experiences and capture what memories I can through my camera's lens. At the end of the day I'm just another regular guy who needs to write his thoughts somewhere, and I hope you get some enjoyment out of my musings.
All of the best,
BK
