Believe in Others

Some people will never believe in others. They have been hurt so many times  who can they trust?

Today it’s a reflection on why people have a hard time trusting others or believing in others.  Tomorrow it will be part two. Rebuilding trust or belief in others.

In life we get hurt by other people for many reasons. A few things we get hurt by are their lies,  dishonesty, verbal confrontation,  physical appearance.  We stop believing in others because they are not honest.  They say one thing and do the other.  You might say I never will trust that person again because they lied to me. Have you ever wondered how many people you  lied to and got them mad, but yet they are still your best friend.  People have been hurt in many ways by people stealing from them. I will never trust that person because they  have stolen from me.  Yet how many have stolen from their boss when it comes to time management.  One thing people are still employed by the same company.

What i am saying is that you don’t trust others because they are so much like yourself.   People spend years because of hurt from others and they find themselves not trusting anybody because they are afraid of getting hurt again.  What i have noticed is that people see life in many ways and it could be from a physical,  emotional  and spiritual point of view.

The physical point of view is people  will not believe in others if the people have physically abused them.  How is this done. This is done in a sexual or abusive way(hitting ).  Those things could happen at a young age. They bottle the anger inside to the point they don’t want to be bothered by others  and  they can’t trust others when all that hurts and frustration.  

People do take advantage of others, but that doesn’t give a person  the right not to believe in others. There are many people in the world who try to do the right things, but people let their emotions get in the way.  They get mad at a person for a little minor incident and they hold an emotional status against them.  On the surface  they might say hello, but really on the inside that  person is so enraged in anger with the other person, they wont trust them anymore. They totally lost their  belief in that person on a simple matter.

The last thing within our topic is people losing their spiritual support. I was part of this. I stop believing in people because of the lack of spiritual support.   You go to seek advice, yet the leaders don’t give you the time of day. Therefore you lose the belief in leaders that are there to help others in life.  We stop believing in those within the church. We don’t stop believing in God but men.  I go to a spiritual leader and they just don’t listen or say it can’t  be you to do such work.  This will make a person quit going to church and not believing in others

People don’t realize your actions can hurt a person for not believing and trusting in you.  Tomorrow is about how we restore our faith, trust and belief back with others.

I know we all have been hurt by others and you might say there are no kind people in the world.  There  is always a ray of sunshine that might change your belief system.  Even when it comes to really trusting your friends or family members.  Believe in others, yes there might be others you won’t  trust, but there will be others that you will trust  and believe in. 

Time to repair and mend those relationships, because those who you stop trusting in or believe in, one day could be a person you might look up to.
