Traveling down some bleaker thought pathways.

What if I said, really trust no one. Not your spouse, or your friends, or your children. Trusting yourself should even come with limitations and frequent reassessment.

Anything that we see in the media as an ideal relationship is a lie. Anyone asking for your trust should immediately become suspect.

How can one operate in these conditions? Are there ways to live trustlessly?

Modern psychology would tell you this is all bad, wrong ways to think. But why? Why not think this way?

Can you love trustlessly?

I'm open to the possibility that you can.

It's always worth taking a chance - there's people out there that you'd be able to trust and count on, but it's not absolute, it scales. I remember my mate Carol saying she'd trust another friend with her life, but not with £10.

Food for thought perhaps. GN nostr:npub12mx9etcam5cjrpv3p6duqucmff23jeznksll5523fhp6hl6m8mqs83zem9 🌜

Pretty sure I could back this trustless stuff into a book. There's just so many ways to take it, so many things to reexamine. I don't know of any books exploring this as philosophy or psychology either. One day I may have to actually discover how to write a book, and not just lots of words.
