I agree that we are often “too trusting” and need certainly to exercise some modicum of restraint about whom we allow access to some very personal/private parts of our lives.

I also agree that there can be no real trust, until we are willing to share parts of ourselves with others and they reciprocate. In our current society/culture, we tend toward trusting too easily and then at times see it blow up in our faces.

Thanks for sharing your views. I am sure I will be mulling this one over for some time to come.
