WHO DO YOU TRUST ??? ARTICLE




Trust is a wonderful thing to have as it can get you through some bad times.  When you have trust you can be very productive no matter what you are doing or where you are going.  How is your trust factor today, and will it be better in the future? 
What do you put you trust in?  Let us take a walk through a short list of some ideals that all of us trust in:
GOD:  Not so long ago the trust in one’s GOD was significant, but today all faiths are losing large numbers of followers.  There are a number of reasons for the fall of in faith.   Greed (sin) is the number one driving factor that moves people away.  All religions have a set of laws that must be followed in order to maintain the ideals and the codes that their religions practice.  The church, temple, shrine or mosque does not pay you to attend so why go says the majority of would be church goers.   Most people cannot find time to spend with others of the same faith. Most churches in Europe are empty with the same apathy approaching North America, Australia, and the Far East which means that the whole world thinks that they have the solution to death.  The majority of people have the belief that they can take care of their own future which could be a fatal mistake. Most people as we see do not trust in anything other than themselves.  The moral of this story is to trust in your God as you cannot do everything yourself.
FAMILY:  The family has been paramount through the ages.  A person taking a look at life today gives everyone a different prospective on family life.  No one has the time to spend with the family members.   Rarely does the whole family set down to meals together.  Most family members are busy talking, texting, or surfing the web.  Children do not even go outside any more as they are playing computer games, or watching TV.  The adults are so protective that the children end not being able to cope with simple problems and interacting with other children.  Have you been witness to a pick-up game of baseball, basketball, dodge ball, where they keep score and try to win?  The old days (pre-WW 2) saw the elderly being taken care of until they passed away in the family home.  Today the children are quick to move their parents and other family members into independent living which leads to the nursing home.  These elderly members of society are in most cases forgotten and left with none caring professionals who take all of their life saving and then live off of the government until they pass away.  The whole idea is me.  I need to think about me, and maybe my immediate family, as we are too busy to deal with other people.  Have you thought about when you to get old?  How many couples are not getting married?  Only 34% of people are getting married.  The children that are being born are bastards, so what these children have allegiance to.  They see their parents as the ones who do not even care about them enough to get married.  Marriage most also not be the answer as 50% of the people who do get married are divorced within five years.  You can see that the children in most cases do not have a chance.  How can you trust in your own family?  Have a death in the family and see who you can trust. You must work on your trust with your family members.
FRIENDS:  A person one knows well and is fond of which is different than an acquaintance which is a person or persons whom one knows only slightly.  Would you want to put your hope and faith in a friend or an acquaintance?  Having a group of true friends my mean your death of survival in the future.  Not knowing who are your true friends or acquaintances is what you need to know.  How can you tell the difference?  Deal only with people who are honest.  Deal with people who have skills, if you get in a situation where you need help, you do not need someone else to take care of.   Friends are people who you network with.   Do not put all of your eggs in one basket as it will come back to haunt you in the future.  Remember that the people you cannot trust now are not the ones to be trusting in the future.  The first thing to do is take and inventory of your friends.  Mark down what kind of skills they have and see what they could mean in the future.  The past tells you how the future will ring in with your friends, if they run when you ask for help, beware this will make for a difficult future.  The people you choose will make the difference between your survival and death.  Get new friends who you can trust.
BIG GOVERNMENT:  What do think would happen with an occurrence with the big government?  The very first thing that any official will be looking for is a safe place to go with all of the creature comforts.  You say no that they will be looking out for our best interests as the common man; you have been reading too many novels with happy endings.  The most important agenda to any government official is (after saving their own but) keeping their power.  They do not care about anything about taking care of the folks until they find out where they are in the pecking order.  An occurrence means to any official that there may be something in it for them.  You do not believe that I am telling you the skinny?  You think about seeing any official who has went into office coming out poor when he has left office.  The only way you will receive any help is if the problem that you have will be an advantage to the public official.  Now when you think about what your chances are for trusting you big government in time of an occurrence don’t bet the farm that it will end well. Think before you trust big government.
Local Government:  These are the people that you deal with on one on one basis in your daily life.  If you have good friends in local government this can be really helpful.  If you have enemies in the local government you could be in a world of hurt if there is an occurrence.   The word is making friends no enemies.  Try to help your local officials when they need help as it can pay large dividends.   Get to know your local police as they can be a great source of information.  Observe all the Local laws regarding your property (zoning and permits).  Remember that working with local officials is a give and take situation; always give more than you take as it will pay large dividends.  Have Local officials you can trust.
In closing make a good plan so that you are in a good position when that occurrence happens.  You must know who you can TRUST.  Where Are You Going To Go???
