trust sucks.

badsede May 17 2005, 19:21:42 UTC

nothing wrong with trust .. just putting it in the wrong place

fringebenefits May 17 2005, 20:17:02 UTC

good point. i do that often -- putting trust in the wrong place (people).

you make it sound so easy.

badsede May 17 2005, 19:58:53 UTC

it is .. insofar as getting over ourselves is easy.

sistermeg May 17 2005, 20:03:12 UTC

i'll have to take your word for it.

but i'm failing to see the connection between trusting and getting over ourselves. Can you explain?

badsede May 17 2005, 20:24:57 UTC

the thing is that getting over ourselves seems to be rarely very easy.

lack of trust often stems from selfishness. we do not want to relinquish control of situations or aspects or our selves. our own individual hang-ups prevent us from looking beyond ourselves. our pride prevents us from allowing ourselves to depend on someone or someone else - not that i understand that one, no, not me - or admitting that we need that in which we trust.

our fear of placing our trust in the wrong place often prevents us from putting our trust in the right place.

What prompted this subject of trust?

Is it to anyone specific?

Is it a reminder-to-self or a personal request? ;)

BTW... Eponine is prolly the character I can relate to most. As much as I love Les Mis (as does my older bro Andy, who bought a video of the stars singing songs from the show), can you believe that I've never seen it live? I missed my chance when it came here as they were here during my g-ma's funeral.

Re: Curiosity badsede May 18 2005, 03:27:08 UTC

It is an existential statement. I'm beginning to see an oppositional relationship between trust and fear. One falters when the other thrives.

Never seen Les Mis??!! That is certainly something that you must remedy. I relate very much to Jean ValJean. I've though of getting a tattoo of 24601.

Can you tell me why they constantly cast that role with women with obnoxious voices? Why is that the aesthetic? Why!? Why!?

This has bothered me for a while.

So that people will find it more palatable that Marius picks Cosette over her.
