Trust and Respect

Trust and Respect©

It is important, I have learned in the most painful of ways, to never do anything or treat anyone, in such a manner that it destroys the trust and respect of the relationship and of each other. As devastating it is to one another, it destroys even worse the trust and respect for self. When that occurs, all that one has believed and held in value is eroded into meaninglessness and empty occupying of space. Forgiveness by others is possible but difficult to obtain. Forgiveness of self may never come, leaving only misery, doubt, and lonely emptiness.
