in a way, it seems unfair that your past has a say in the way you approach your future.
unfair, yet it does make sense.
for example, if you have been hurt in the past - in love, or churches, family or friends - the natural reaction for us as humans is to become more guarded, cautious, and even (in some cases) doubtful. because we have been hurt in the past, a little voice inside a whispers not to trust as you once did. if it happened once, it could happen again, right?
wouldn't it be nice if we lived in a perfect world where we have never been wronged or hurt?
maybe, but it's not gonna happen.
even if it were possible, the phrase "i trust you" would hold little meaning. the people that have never been hurt have not known what broken trust feels like, therefore "i trust you" would roll off the tongue easily, simply because they have no voice inside urging them not to trust.
it's those with trust already damaged that take a risk if they trust again.
think about it: how much more meaning is in "i trust you", when they overlook their past hurts and choose to try again?
