So I guess today is “One Liner Wednesday.” Many of the blogs I follow were posting quotes today. I actually posted this quote on my Facebook this week and it is a quote that sums up the week for me.
There is another quote, which I believe came from the movie Scarface: “Never beg anyone. Never trust anyone. Never expect anything from anyone.” I have heard the quote “Trust no one” before, and I guess they really are the same thing. However, this takes it a step further and fits perfectly.
It is sad that even those people who you thought you could trust, you can’t. The hard part is trying to figure out who was the “turncoat” or “traitor.” In the end, does it matter? Not really.
I’ve always been the kind of person who is open and wears my heart on my sleeve. I suppose it is a weakness to trust everyone. It’s like the quote from the Godfather: “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.” But how do you really know who the friends are and who the enemies are? I suppose you don’t – so bottom line: Trust No One.
My circle just became a whole lot smaller.

I always give people the benefit of the doubt…sometimes it works…sometimes not but how ya going to know unless you take a chance.

It’s a shame that it has come to the point of being extra cautious … in more situations than one!

I think that was one of Fox Muldar’s mantras too ,’trust nobody’ (the X-files). I guess we’ve all been there before but it seems better to try and think the best and be trusting …. although there are some people who after awhile will give you enough evidence to know that they can’t be. Hope your week gets better!
