Humans, like animals, have a natural tendency to trust, and both species judge the trustworthiness and motives of outside activities according to their senses, including thoughts and feelings. The data surrounding all the actions around us enter our subconscious mind in a split second, from where we critically validate the information and weigh up the risk of failure or success that accompanies the action against our belief and value system.If we believe all is well, we say we have confidence in the person and/or information. If we feel uncomfortable, we doubt their sincerity and say we do not trust them. This is known as applied confidence, and despite the two sides of the same coin, it is still only one coin with a set value. We are valued for the purity of our person.
Unfortunately, past experiences have taught us to be wary, and ethics and trust are interchangeable terms relating to interpersonal relationships concerning moral character. That is why people instinctively base trust on ethical actions rather than flowery deeds or meaningless offerings.
If we have a clear understanding of the mechanism surrounding these terms, it becomes easier to gain the trust of others, and we also intuitively know when and who to trust. Because our moral character is plain for all to see and we genuinely care about people, truth, and integrity, we live our moral character and earn the trust of others.
