Trust.
Is it a belief, a hope, an expectation?
No.
Belief is an exaggerated expectation.
A conviction, an idea.
Hope is a mere peg to hold on.
A desire waiting to be fulfilled.
Trust is neither expecting nor holding on.
Trust is letting things be.
Never reflecting.. never suspecting
Never complaining of the betrayal
It is unadulterated acceptance.
A thing of the heart, not of the mind.
Trust is saying ‘yes’ in spite of.
Being vulnerable to hurt.
Trust is renouncing every shield, fighting no war.
It is a victory in complete defeat.

beautifully written !
so true, Trust is not a belief or a faith which are given things. Trust is something that grows within us.
“Trust is saying ‘yes’ in spite of.
Being vulnerable to hurt.”
so true, the more we trust, the more we open up and the more vulnerable we become. But at the same time the more we trust, the more we open up, the more we’ll be able to reach the hearts, the more we love and the more blissful we become. You have reghtly said “It is a victory in complete defeat”
