A simple saying, yet it points fingers at us, if you blindly trust someone, they will deceive you thinking you are blind. This is the cruel truth in our lives. You may think the words are small, but the meaning is much deeper. We often think that trust means a kind of purity, but at the same time if it becomes blind, then it becomes the biggest weakness in all of us.

Today, I will try to present the real picture of this blind faith to you through this post, where I will try to present the family and social context, share my personal experience with you, but the most important thing is that I will discuss it openly with you. And at the end, there are some simple, practical suggestions that will help you protect your own safety.

Trust vs. Blind Faith—Two Paths, Two Consequences

A relationship cannot work without trust, we all know this and many try to kill it. In most cases, we all have to rely on each other in family, friendship, and marriage. But is it right to trust blindly?

Here are some small points for you, in some cases we will not trust blindly, and in some cases we will trust, on that matter.

Blind acceptance: Assuming that ‘what the person in front of us is true’ without any kind of factual evidence or logic. This is not right at all.

Unlimited concession: If someone in our family or friends makes a mistake, and even if that mistake is caught, we should let it go without asking questions. We should ask him properly why he made this mistake, then only he will be able to learn a lot from the mistake.

Loss of self-identity: In many cases, we give an opinion to the person in front of us in a hurry, but it seems that at that time my question does not get importance, but it is very important to accept it. Because, we have to see if we are asking us in the right place, if we do not do that, then it will not be right for us to ask questions in a hurry.

So friends, when a person understands in advance that you will not question him, then he can use your silence to achieve his own interests. You should always be careful in this regard so that he does not misuse your trust in any way.

For example, a short story

A young man named Raihan was studying in the university. He was very trusting among his friends, he would give away everything he had if he saw someone in trouble. A close friend of his in the hostel was in financial trouble.

Raihan talked to his elder brother about this, then after listening to his elder brother, he secretly kept his mother's savings in a safe for 6 months, then he gave money to his friend. After three months, that friend left the college and went to another city, and also switched off his mobile number. Then Raihan realized that the person he had blindly trusted, actually considered Raihan's trust as weakness. And that is why he cheated him, cheated him, and dishonored his trust.

This tragic experience teaches us that no matter how much we love and trust someone, we should trust them with our eyes open, not with our eyes closed. We need to know them well first, research them thoroughly, and only then get involved in a transaction with them. If we get involved in a transaction with them unnecessarily, they will cheat us.

Reflections on career

The word teamwork comes up in our workplace. When a senior signs a paper, saying I trust you, it is a lot of joy. But in reality, it is seen that many people take advantage of that trust. Most of the time, everyone is waiting for an opportunity.

The mistakes that we often make in the workplace or in the office are:-

We sign the file without looking at it because we trust him,

Many times we give money without comparing the accounts

We sign after listening to the words of the senior sir

What happens then is that within a few days, a huge discrepancy in the audit report comes to the news. All the complaints fall on the junior, because the senior will say, he did the calculations. Blind faith has been made a weapon here. Then you will understand how much my senior has cheated me and he has enjoyed all the benefits by exploiting my trust.

The complex map of relationships

• No friend, partner, or family member is like this. Blind trust is seen in all relationships, which are honest.

• Love without understanding: When we fall in love with someone, we think that if we ask questions, the love will probably decrease.

• Fear-based attachment: Trust is sought by threatening that the relationship will end if we ask for proof.

• Self-annihilation: Forgetting one's own likes and dislikes and obeying the will of others is the law.

• Gradually, a person loses himself, while the opponent takes advantage. Because you trusted him, this one thing comes back to your life in a roundabout way.

The cost of blind trust money, mentality, and future

Economic loss: Losing money due to fraud, burden of debt.

Decreased mental activity: Confidence in one's own judgment and intelligence decreases.

Relationship breakdown: Once cheated, doubts increase in all relationships the next time.

Decreased self-esteem: "I am stupid"—this feeling.

How to build healthy trust?

Draw a beautiful boundary in your life, where you write down the names of those people whom you are willing to trust from the bottom of your heart.

• Give all the information, but verify personal secrets first.

• Write down financial transactions in the world, not verbally.

• Learn to ask questions

• Questions do not mean distrust, but healthy curiosity.

• Do not be captivated by someone's words, but want to know "why".

Increase trust step by step

• First give small responsibilities. If you succeed, give big responsibilities.

• If you fail, do not be lazy—understand the reason.

• Break the conscious silence

• What will anyone think?” Overcome the fear.

• Say firmly "no" if your own boundaries are violated.

• Build self-confidence

• Ask yourself: What do I want? What do I accept?

• Read books, improve your skills—make yourself dependent.

Write your own story in your own way

Getting out of blind faith does not mean insulting anyone, but respecting yourself. When you believe rationally

• Relationships are healthy, because everyone knows there is accountability.

• You reduce the fear of cheating and find peace.

• Others also learn that trust does not mean freedom—it is also a responsibility.

Facing the brutal truth

Sit down with a cup of tea and think—who have you trusted without checking? Have you ever been hurt by that trust? If you have, what have you learned?

You cannot avoid hurt in life, but you can reduce the depth of the hurt by reducing blind faith. Replace blind faith with intelligent faith. If you close your eyes, there is darkness; if you open your eyes, you can see both the light and darkness around you.

So I would say, blind faith is a cruel trap. Keep your eyes open, keep your mind open, ask questions—only then will your faith be the foundation of a strong, wise, and healthy relationship.
