| Trust"Trust simplifies life. It would be prohibitively time-consuming to consider all possible disappointments, defections, and betrayals by those on whom we rely, all possible consequences of those disappointments, and all mitigating actions we might take. Without trust, [life] will become ridden with defensive ploys. Blind trust, however, will not suffice. Such naive trust commonly leads to disappointment with the extra sting of shame at having been duped. It is warranted trust and trustworthy behavior that support enduring trust and cooperation." ~Niklas Luhman, sociologist
