Trusting someone means putting them on a delicate spot in your heart and breaking this trust could result to a permanent scar on the heart and the innocent trust.
People are the reasons why other people change yes, our characters towards people sometimes would determine their new life styles.
Let me break it down with this story of a generous heart who was poisoned by an ungrateful soul.
Some years ago, I had a very good friend from secondary high school who happened to be so dear to me. I trusted him so much to a point that he even knew my phone passwords and also my ATM pin. I so much trusted this friends and he became more like a brother to me and our friendship was one i admired so much.
Occasionally, I have always helped this friend of mine to carry out most class activities l class exercises and home works especially in mathematics because I was pretty good in calculations. I helped him unconditionally because of the value i had for our friendship but all was fine and okay until something happened one day.
He was actually my seat mate in school and we always share a contributive ideas during class assessments and examinations which means we help ourselves and share knowledge whenever we are sitting a particular examination. During the terms examination, i remember helping him to solve nearly all the questions we opt to answer in arithmetics and he copied every solution and answers from me. This was our agreement anyways because I knew he wasn't so good on the subject.
When it was time for creative art assignment in school, he happened to be a very talented artist who can reproduce drawings perfectly on drawing papers.
I asked him to help me with the assignment because i wasn't so good in drawing and he agreed to which gave me so much confidence and a relaxed mind that my assignment is being taken care of until he came to me on the day of submission to tell me that he can't draw for me and I asked him why but he gave no reasonable answer as I felt he just didn't want to help me.
Despite all the sacrifices i've made for me, he couldn't do this little task for me.
I felt bad actually but never the less i learnt from that piece and ever since then, our friendship didn't firm any longer and we broke up gradually untill we went separate ways until we graduated from high school.
This same friend i once lended him some money back in school which we both agreed and he promised to repay at a certain period of time. Up till today and even till tomorrow, I have not seen a single cent from the money he collected and promised to repay. Always coming up with story upon stories.
Now how do you begin to rebuild a trust with this kind of a person?
Indeed, a broken trust can be nearly impossible to amend and even if you manage to amend it, you may not experience the same genuineness as it was initially in the beginning.
