Do I trust my soc mates?
Well, I certainly trust those that I have dealt with in the past, as they all have shown them selves to be trust worthy.
There are, however, some in my soc I have never even talked to, due to different time zones.
Would I lend them them my entire wardrobe: Master coat, Black slacks/shirt/boots & Rancher hat? Probably not
.
would I lend them my Frean D Alpha ME? Probably, as I no longer use it, and it's cheap & easy to replace.
It's not that I actively "don't trust" them, it's that I just don't know them well enough to form an opinion either way.
Plus you have to remember that "trust" means "Have confidence in".
In that Context, I trust a barking snarling dog. I have confidence that it
will try and bite me. I am confident in that belief and hence I don't get close enough to it to find out if i am wrong.
