New Year's Revelation

What is Trust? What is Respect?

How does one earn both aspects?

hmmmm...let's me tell you something that I've really learn from my experience.

Totally shocking and disrespectful. :(

Before going further, let's define trust and respect.


Trust is a relationship of reliance. A trusted party is presumed to seek to fulfill policies, ethical codes, law and their previous promises.

Trust does not need to involve belief in the good character, vices, or morals of the other party. Persons engaged in a criminal activity usually trust each other to some extent. Also trust does not need to include an action that you and the other party are mutually engaged in. Trust is aprediction of reliance on an action, based on what a party knows about the other party. Trust is a statement about what is otherwise unknown -- for example, because it is far away, cannot be verified, or is in the future. (source:wikipedia)


Respect is esteem for, or a sense of the worth or excellence of, a person, a personal quality, ability, or a manifestation of a personal quality or ability. It is sometimes, but should not be, confused with loyalty or fear for a person. (source: wikipedia)


These aspects in life are best by earning them truthfully. Both are commonly come together. Respecting is considering one's feeling, thoughts, wishes, needs, ideas and preference into considerations. Trusting is a feeling that is being held upon by feelings or thoughts that naturally true and worthy. Respect always comes first, then followed by Trust.

The story goes like this:

It was still dawn when they about to go. A long trip ahead going to the province of his beloved. New Year's Family affair is always spent in their province(a place in Mindanao, Philippines). The family is weary because of the weather(raining). Yet, the young couples(teenagers) weren't sleeping, they spent their trip as a romantic tour. After a long trip, they stop for a lunch at the nearby Cafeteria. Then, off again to their destination, only a short while now before arriving. They were tired, so they decided to rest awhile and make they're visiting tomorrow.


So after a day or two. New Year's Day has arrived. Before going anywhere, they went to his uncle's house to bring some food. Then, they went around the place to visit his relatives and friends. As the afternoon breaks, they went to the school near the house of his grandma and went looking around the grounds. After an hour of talking and looking around the school grounds, they went home to eat and relax. They went upstairs to lay down. They were talking and laughing back then. They didn't seen to know that his parents was furious of what's happening between the young couples. The couple was very tired that time they sleep together in the same bed. After a long sleep, the parents went home and wake the two. And that's the start of the confrontation. The girl was very nervous that her legs felt numb. His father was really furious about them that he start talking very hurtful words about the girl. He was thinking the couple was having a sexual relationship and thought that they're to young for it and cannot handle themselves. They thought the girl was easy to get and can cause trouble to their family. The girl felt very low of what they have said. It really cut a big scar in her heart. She was confused and bothered. After the very hurtful confrontation, she went to the room and cry very hard. She can't believe that the parents of his boyfriend thought of her as a lowly life form. But then, she forced herself to face the parents and stand up for herself. She trust her boyfriend as much as she trust her mom. The young couple talked seriously after the confrontation and decided to be plainly aroused the mind that is sleeping and be aware of the surrounding and thyself.

Being judge right away was very painful to bare in our heart and mind. As if you were born to be disgrace by others. Asked first before letting the anger overcome yourself.
