@Triste Joven,
Trust, honor, honesty are essential elements of every relationship, but most people relate without actually considering what they are doing abstractly... And some people are great, and naturally great at relating... They do not have to think about trust, but are naturally trust worthy, and will not deal with people they cannot trust...
We see in relationships, like our economy, and like our government which are forms of relationship, but also in marriage as a form of relationship, that people often cash in their trust for something else they find meaningful, like money or sex with strangers and in the process take the meaning out of their relationships and destroy them...
