In-dependence, Trust and Honesty

Many times you feel you are left alone...wandering in a place that's full of strangers. There is no one to support you and no friends, whom you can trust...in a place that's far away from your family and relatives and all your loved ones...You have but one choice : To face the world, to face all the challenges that are put forth you, to face all the consequences of your deeds...thats how life teaches you to be independent...

Speaking about trust, its forms an integral part of everyone's life. Its a kind of a belief of reliance you try to find in someone - Be it a small secret or be it some important decision in your life, you talk to your dear ones and trust them on helping you get through certain situations. Its easy to trust someone but if this "trust" happens to fall on wrong shoulders, it can shatter your belief of trusting anyone else.

Honesty comes from within and it shows how truthful you are. It includes honesty to others and to one-self. You might be dis-honest with others around you, but your inner conscience stop you from being dis-honest. Honesty also has the ability to cause misfortune.

In certain situations that life creates for you, the feeling of helplessness arrives and you want to share your emotions with someone...someone whom you can "trust"...someone who is truthful and pure at heart...but then that feeling of independence comes in your way..the act of not depending on anyone physically as well as mentally...which in-turn takes you farther away from your loved ones and the close friends think you forgot them and you are no more honest to them...

Its such a vicious circle - independence, trust and honesty...the more you want to trust someone, the more dependent you become towards the person and the more you try to be independent, the less honest you become in front of the person which in-turn results in the loss of trust on your part. Somehow I feel, these things do come in everyone's life...but the lesson to learn from this is to have a "balance" between them.
