We Trust, yet "Trust no one"

I recently made the comments below when someone put up this picture on facebook 

                              

"Trust no one" what an interesting phrase, but somehow its practically impossible when you really give it some thought::: 

My view is that life ensures we trust whether we really want to or not ? for example think of it in these terms.Have you ever flown on a plane ?, then I submit that you actually did put some form of trust on the pilot,engineers ,air traffic controllers etc that they all knew what they were doing, thats the reason you decided to take a calculated risk and fly on that plane?. 

How about travelling by road on public transport  in a country like Nigeria where road accident occurs daily?, you don’t know the driver but you trust he could drive and also drive safely all the way to your destination and when you set off on a journey you didn't even ask, show me your drivers licences or how long have you been driving ? It you trust the transport company to have ran all that check, or you just taking a risk ?

Finally how about marriage – that one institution we really can’t gain admission into without first on our own establishing at least some level of trust on another human? you trust they wont bash your head in while you sleep, or just up and leave for no reason, and even when your trust fail, sometime people still go and get married again,trusting on some level all again right ?

Yes fake untrustworthy people do exist but can we really trust no one ? well maybe we can 


  I personally prefer the mantra - trust can fail,though trust is earned.

I have been contemplating all day when I will make this post. It's the 31st of December 2022 and in the last 16years, every last day of the year I have maintained this tradition of documenting my general thoughts, for the year ending and my hopes and outlooks for the incoming year. I believe that in going forward, it does demands a good reflection backwards also, like the famous quote from the late Steve Jobs of Apple    “You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future"   The interesting thing that life and faith in God has taught me is that this " SOMEHOW" is not a thing of chance or luck.  It's simple God's hand at work.  Every steps he has ordered, even when I take them without k

Decades later we get the opportunity to hear the back story,the work,the walk,the raise & falls of stardom. The journey for most is crazy. So many fell off,some lost it completely,some made it then eventually los
