Life Without Trust Quotes

"It is impossible to go through life without trust" is a very true statement about life itself, this quote is found in The ministry of Fear written in 1945. This quote means that if you don't trust other people or if you are not trusted you cannot live a healthy life. Two books that are good examples of this quote are Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska by John Green in both books there are characters that struggle to live life because they have physical and metaphorical trust issues.

Trust can be a very dangerous thing, Trust can either make you or break you. Think of it like this trusting someone is like pouring gasoline all over yourself and then handing the people you "trust" match boxes and then asking them to not light you on fire,

do you still trust them? This Is a extreme example of how dangerous trusting someone is but trust can hurt you as quick as lighting a match. The reason it is so hard to trust people is because throughout life we all trust a few people who break their promises and light that match leaving us with permanent scars that are a constant reminder of how easy it is to turn on someone.

In the book Paper towns the topic of trust plays a huge roll with one of the main characters Margo. Margo is the wild child who nobody trusts, she runs away all the time leaving little clues here and there but never enough to actually find her until she wants to be found. in the beginning of the book she seems to be extremely happy, she's living the typical life that every teenager wishes they had but she's lacking one important thing, trust. The book never says it but when you read between the lines you can see that the bridges she burns with her parents trust in her and her trust in all of the people she had closest to her caused her to break. Margo disappears leaving little clues not meant to help anyone find her just to let anyone who cared know that she was alright, she was broken she felt like everyone in that town was made of paper and broken strings just like her. Trust is what broke her it brought her from the coolest kid that everyone wanted to be to a depressed kid who lived in a paper town that looked pretty from far away but was a lot uglier up close. The character Margo may not die but the person she was did.

The main character in the book Looking for Alaska had hidden issues from the beginning she went through a lot in her life but she hid her burn marks well.

Alaska was a problem child who lost the trust of many people when she "ratted out" one of her best friends just to save herself. Even after she was found out to be the rat she still had her close friends but lost their trust which was a big part of her downfall. One night she was hanging out with the friends she had left, and she drank a little to much got into the car and crashed head on into a police car. this was the final match thrown by Alaska because after all that happened to her nobody knew whether it was an accident or if she was so upset that she aimed for the empty cop car to end it all. This is a perfect example of how without trust sometimes you can literally no longer live your life. A life liven without trust is no life, in the long run if you don't have the trust of those around you then you are living a life nobody wants or deserves. a burnt bridge can always be rebuilt but not if you keep throwing gasoline and matches on it. In life you have to watch who you hand your matches to and not only that but don't light any matches unless you want to see yourself or someone else

burn.
