In our trust in others, inertia, selfishness, and vanity often play a major role. Inertia, when we, in order not to act ourselves, are more willing to trust another. Selfishness, when we believe something to another, tempted by the need to talk about our affairs and circumstances. Vanity - when trust can be to our advantage.

A. Schopenhauer

It is very difficult to trust yourself. Sometimes this is not achieved even once in a lifetime. Because the carefully built system of worshiping the author, the system of hangouts that are grouped around each author, has given rise to incredible snobbery, sometimes completely out of the blue, and it puts pressure on a person who is not included in these circles. He may be well versed in electronics, but this does not increase his social status in any way and therefore does not elevate him in his own eyes. With what sense organ can he trust himself, his taste?

Faith and trust are associated with openness. If I have lost confidence in a person, then I have closed myself off from him. If I have lost confidence in a person, I have lost faith in a person. In the same way, if I have lost trust in God, I will lose faith in God. - "Giving advances to love"

Proverbs about trust are studied at school, because this is a complex abstract concept. But the ability to trust is an important human quality. Trust appears only when a person is confident in another, when he understands and feels. It can also be felt for someone who is fair and respectful to others.

Proverbs about trust

Below are some famous sayings:

1. "People's trust is more precious than gold." This was especially important for rulers and representatives of higher ranks. Because the people have always been a great force, and if they were dissatisfied with the order, they could rebel. But if a person acted in justice, treated the people with respect, then the people responded to him with respect and supported him.
2. "If you lose trust, you can't make up for it." It is difficult for a person to start believing again in someone who has already once failed to live up to his expectations. And only by good deeds, he, perhaps, will be able to return the favor of another.

Sayings of other nations

Proverbs about trust and gullibility are present in all cultures, but their meaning is similar to the sayings of Russian folk art:

1. "Do not trust a person who praises himself too much" - this can be explained as follows: if a person says too much good about himself, he often exaggerates. He is trying to prove that good is not a deed, but a word. Remember to be humble.
2. "Whoever believes easily, soon repents." This Italian proverb can be explained as follows: you should not tell the first person you meet everything about yourself. You don’t know what kind of person this is, won’t he then tell everything that you told him to others? Therefore, you can only trust relatives and close people.

Proverbs that talk about trust help teach children to respect the other. They teach that it is not necessary to tell everyone everything, but it is very important to appreciate the trust that is placed in you.
