trust.

how can you ever completely trust anyone when no person completely knows another, especially considering a person's own inner universe is so expansive that they can never even completely know themselves outside of an overwhelming hunch?

trust is really faith.

but how to know which people really deserve faith?

or is faith the necessity because there's really no alternative...

do you take a person's word for it, their life story and its sum, even though you know that their word is not necessarily a reflection of their personal truth?

i don't believe in saints on earth. just flawed human beings doing their best to make sense of their worlds, some who try harder than others to set good examples.
