I have severe trust issues. If you don't believe me ask my wife.
Growing up, I was betrayed by parents, siblings, coaches, teachers, and just about everyone I ever knew. I know this is common by a lot of folks in this fallen world. But at various critical times, I was brutally betrayed by people in my life. I have forgiven those folks, and I moved on the best I could.
But now, in the world of fake news and false information, it is getting me to fall back into my mistrust of everything and everybody.
The only thing I trust in is the Word of God as it is written in the Bible. I could justify this trust anytime you want to contact me. However, I am not going to get into that here on this blog.
But outside of that, everyone short of the Divine is subject to my mistrust. I don't even trust myself.
How can I function then? Well, it's because I always assume the worst and live my life with my eyes wide open.
Some glaring things I mistrust (in no particular order):
- the media
- entertainers, politicians, and athletes opinions
- gas station sushi
- my government
- the CDC
- The U.N.
- T.V. preachers
- commercials
- salespeople
- Nigerian Prince's email
- Public school teachers
- College professor's
- Facebook administrator's
