The way I am beginning to see things is that no one is really trustworthy - not 100 %. Everyone has a point of limit, it is only the difference in the limits - some people are trustworthy only 10 %, and some are more ( 70 %). But that is about it. Human beings are not infallible.
The way I try to see it nowadays is I put my full trust on God instead of any human beings. And that helps me actually trust people more. I acknowledge that they will fail sometimes, but that doesn't prevent me from depending on them because I know everyone is the same, and my real dependancy is only on God.
IT might sound religious preachy, but it isn't. It is important to have that trust really in something higher and not in human beings. Because even if a person is 100 % trustworthy, they could still die and leave you in the cold. So it is important to place your faith in something higher.
