Part One.
Trust.
It's a thing that no matter what people say is an idiotic trait. You should never trust anyone. Not your closest friend or family members you feel know you inside out. Purely because everyone is not on one side. It is never quite that simple. Because sometimes the people you know best will fuck you over and the people you're least likely to associate with will come to your aid.
Allow me to document a real life situation to show you what I mean.
Awaiting for several friends to appear outside the local Lidl I was approached by two half-drunk 20-something chavs. At first, it was a case of being shouted at, which immediately put me on my guard, then was accused of robbing his house. My instincts were telling me to run, but it was outside and I thought that surely they wouldn't be that thick. GUESS WHAT? They were. I appeared to underestimate the idiocy of chavs. Something I will now learn from. Before I knew it I was being fumbled onto the metallic barrier that ran on the pavement, separating it from the main road. That was £10 gone pretty quickly. What I didn't expect – and this is what links back to the thing about trust – is that I turned around to see my friends gawping at the mis-fortunate events that just took place. What then shocked me even more was when quite a large group of teenage chavs came out of Lidl and the one of them asked me if I'd just been mugged. I'd said yeah, and before I knew it they were off to find them.
I decided not to follow, as I'd already seen enough, but it proves that it's the unlikeliest of people that would come to your aid, instead of the people that you would expect to look out for you.
The troubling thing is though, people will always trust other people. It's not the trusting itself that's shit, but more the fact that you don't learn from your mistakes. Everyone uses trust as a way to vent, to get things out in the open, and this isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the moral isn't don't trust people, but more it's something that's gonna happen, so don't grow high expectations from this trust.
Reading through that, I'm not sure if I made much sense, but I hope it has.
