Confusing Trust!

I am so sorry!

The title itself... or.. 'Even the title'.... suggests, that what follows is likely to be untrustworthy!

So, let us just have a 'relaxed' look at it... Let us decide to just entertain ourselves, taking care, not to get stuck too much into it, such that it does not confuse us at all!

So, does it now seem, this time, that my disclaimer, my suggestion, looks like : We can trust the 'confusion-about-trust?'... (some of us are so sure, by now, they would agree, thus: “I fully trust, that there is bound to be a confusion now, in the offing!”... Hey, to get rid of confusions, out of our life, which way is it going to work?.. Avoiding confusions? Or getting rid of confusions? But how?.. meeting the very source of 'our-confusions', up rooting it for good, once for all... etc! Not running away from 'talk-about-confusions'... but meeting it head-on, tenaciously!)

When ever somebody says, 'Trust me'... is it not going to 'firstly' cause a mild confusion... only when... the doubts-created-by-such-confusion, does not find a 'reasonable answer'... suspicion creeps in!

The lady of the house decides to drive a car... (it is almost a fashion in the west, not to 'trust-her-driving-pattern'... at least the several jokes we get to hear, seem to suggest.. statistically, it may not be too scary.... Hey, why am I substantiating such a mild statement? It is about confusions-of-trust, not about trustworthy-trust!)

The King loved the monkey, and (therefore, perhaps) the king trusted the monkey... The King was fast asleep... a fly landed on King's nose... the King stirred... the monkey noticed it... The monkey decided, to 'guard' the sleeping-king, from fly-menace (it did not find any scope to even 'consider a possible-monkey-menace').. it tried to ward off that fly... the fly persisted, shifting just the landing ground (neck, chest, arms, nose, forehead, etc of that king!)... Anger crept into the monkey (but the source of anger was... 'Love for king' so says the story... but from monkey's perception, it may just be a 'sense-of-loyalty' at best, or at worst... 'insurance-policy' for the bananas provided by the king, when it has 'noticed' the King ordering “Mere bandar ke liye, Best-tasty, fresh, latest banana lao!' )...

the fly by now, was not just a 'fly-by-night' affair... it has come to stay, flying (like FDI in aviation!).. the monkey got 'wild' by now! (wild is its 'home' any way!... and when it is 'at home' of its own, trust shifts into its own 'home-grown-traits'!)... It picked up the sword, and aimed at the fly, now sitting near the neck... Swishhh! The fly escaped, and the King now 'slept-off' for good!

So, some antidotes that are likely to be effective ... (use logic... what else can we hope to have!)

List it out:

1)Integrity trust (not, accuracy-trust-- count the cash even from a trusted-cashier)

2)Garbage trust (computers, maintain very high level of integrity, when we consciously maintain awareness that it is 'virtual-garbage'... looking thus, we are warned of sleeping virus, latent bugs, memory-location-fallibility, data-packet-erosion, ... why, even the .... sleep-quota-deficiency of 'system-Admin-Sir'

3)Accuracy trust ('Bait-money'... offered by police, crime-investigators, Anti-bribe squad etc... they make no mistake, listing out every bit of details so well, that even the victims manage to guess, “hey! This looks too good to be real enough to quietly loot!”)

4)Inaccuracy trust (Some people are famous to do it only the 'other way'.. so tell them the opposite of what is needed by them... I don't know, here I am confused, whether to call it opposite-trust or negative-trust!)

5)Time trust (time takes care of all problems! We even mistrust those bhoot-bangla... but never heard of a 2500 year old ghost!.. these ghostly people re-surface, waiting only up to say 4 generations, 'max'... Maybe the ghostly-aspects might wear off, or rot, by then!... does it mean, even ghosts are time-bound?... I am confused... Some ghosts maintain punctuality about appearance, but their 'shelf-life'? Use-up before 4 generations? Maybe, other ghosts 'eat-them-up'.. scrambled/boiled!

6)Atheist trust-- This is a very controversial kind of trust... Can we trust an atheist?... 'Hey, atheism itself is about 'mistrust'... or its negative-varieties... sorry, positive varieties (negative for trust.. not mistrust.. minus-into-minus is plus, in maths, but trust?(dunno!)...

7)Dowry trust -- (better divide trust into installments! Sorry, the 'trust-money'... lest it ends up as 'ali-mony'!)

8)Blog trust --- Take a few 'too-good-to-be-original' sentences, the key words, and 'google' it... Not a very good 'insurance', if a person is good at 'goofing up the text-words' without mutilating the meaning... but... hey!.. that means (does it not?), that he is damn good at the concept, and has grasped it... trust his brains, not the intention to get a prize, somehow!

9)Perception trust--- No way to even trust it, till we have a few notches up, ourselves, into that perception! (otherwise, it is just monkey-business!)

10)Blind trust-- babies 'seem' to trust us blindly!... Infatuated-emotions seek to trust blindly (fake-lovers are the beneficiaries).. Computer-illiterate feel better to trust the fallibility of an emotion-less machine, rather than the motionless-bureaucrat, hence e-governance!

11)Sentiment/Superstition trust --- (eleven is an auspicious number.. no other reason for me to reach only this far!)... Trust-not-me... but beware of my superstitious nature, when that takes over, I am worse than a maniac! (we hear about psycho-killers, whose pattern is to be trusted first, in order to 'guess' that next likely victim, and then to nab.... we have 'shifting-superstitions' with gadgets getting outdated too fast!)...

If the list doesn't seem to grow, then something else is growing within us, subtly, clandestinely... let us call it 'unconditional-trust'!

Unconditionally-conditioned,

yours,
