Trust - The essence of all relationships

Any relationship to last forever depends on trust. If there is even a slight element of mis-trust, then everything comes crumbling down. Then one tends to look at everything with suspicion. How can one then live in peace? There is a continuous nag at the back of the mind. There will be no freedom in thinking, then one is always looking for things beyond what is being presented. There is too much analysis wasted in insignificant matters.

In today's world, can there be something such as blind trust? We tend to cheat most on our nearest and dearest, because we are hesitant to put truth in front of others. We tend to think that if we tell the truth then we have to face their anger. I still think this is better than to lead the whole life telling lies and the impact of all these lies is faced by the other person at one shot, which can severly harm the other person. In effect, the damage caused is greater.
