“Did you hear about this?” the message read.

 

The person who sent it to you must have thought it was viable to you for reading purposes.

It may have been something you’d seen before or maybe a surprise.

How will react in this day-and-time?

Will you read it?

 

Will you due diligence on understanding the subject of the message?

What are the implications of someone else’s opinion or statement that warranted it to be forwarded to you?

What does that tell you about the sender?

 

Should we doubt everything we read and hear?

Are we now delusional enough to believe every word printed?

How do we rationalize our thoughts to maintain our own personality and beliefs?

How do we keep from falling?

 

Trust is defined as:

1. Firm belief in the character, strength, or truth of someone or something.

2. A person or thing in which confidence is placed.

3. Confident hope in trust of their return.

4. A property interest held by one person or organization (as a bank) for the benefit of another.

 

You trust your parents?

You trust your siblings?

You trust your friends?

You trust your preacher?

You trust your spouse?

You trust your friend with your wife?

You lend your friend some money and trust it will be returned?

You trust your bank statement?

You trust the food you eat has been inspected?

You trust yourself?

 

You trust what you read or hear coming from an established media is real? You trust some unknown site repeating a questionable statement until there is doubt of the truth?

 

If you fall, who will catch you?

 

Do you trust yourself?
