Transition of Trust

The quality of Trust that a person holds almost decides the very quality of life, irrespective of the material comforts affordable!
This trust takes strange shapes and forms (all of them quite abstract in nature!) in one’s experience. We even feel perplexed whether it was a ‘belief’ or a ‘trust’!
I found the question quoted below to be one that seems to touch one of the core issues involving trust. The transition (of that trust), when it happens within a person, it often reaches stagnation at most unlikely places! And the consequences (I would prefer to call it as ‘residues’, because it is the very residues that contributes to the bulk of our ‘karmic-natured-attitudes’!), solidify the stagnation! Quite fuzzy, I agree. But, then, trust itself is quite fuzzy, if only one were to reflect deep enough about it!
When I look at the question, the answer occurs, (of course the way it does, to me only, not necessarily the right one, the apt one, or even an agreeable one!).
But, very few are left out of this maze of trust and belief; I hope there you would agree. Perhaps, some of us feel too ‘sentimental’ to even touch it, to venture pondering over it, fearing that vulnerability!
Certain aspects of trust, I chose to merely make a passing reference, leaving it to the alert mind to grasp its significance, in my answer (call it the ways of a mystic or whatever! A ‘Guru’ is usually quite familiar with these aspects, being the one grappled with the problem of begetting that ‘trust’!).

Maybe the feeling of contended solitude can only be reached through a series of incidences with people?
that make you realise that it's only yourself you can trustdo you agree?

My answer:
Trust is understood in a deeper way only with intense life experiences.Initially, it is expected from others, instinctively.... like a child innocently trusts its parents, elders etc. With experience, this trust declines, with growing awareness about how people give priorities to their own personal desires surpassing even empathy, fellow consideration etc. Then comes, this phase of 'contended solitude’. This is a difficult phase, and if a person happens to go deeper within, then the 'Trust' now widens its scope in a big way, indescribably big! When that happens, now the trust on others happens effortlessly and without any expectation, or even the need to verify the trustworthiness of others! Consequences do not matter at all. When such trust is betrayed by others, the perception affords instant clarity of the cause, and forgiveness is also simultaneous! Quite incredible, but true, and purely experiential too!
