Thinking in the dark, I remember that funny movie, "Meet the Fockers" where Robert De Niro played the bride's dad to perfection.
He was an ex-military man enslaved by the urge to be overprotective of his family to the point that he doesn't trust one single human being that gets near his wife and his daughter.
He espoused this inane concept called "circle of trust" with his family and his weird cat as members. Anyone outside the circle must pass certain tests to be admitted to it. Anyway, I don'y pity Gaylord Focker (Ben Stiller) that's why I'm writing this entry. He took care of himself quite well. I would like to hit on the concept of TRUST and how some people survive without even trusting anyone, including themselves.
Funny, but in today's world, trust can mean something that can be bought or cajoled out of us. In some quarters, it stoops down to represent some birth control balloon making sure that reproductive consequences can be avoided. Some trust. Some distrust. Others are sooo crazy about it that they give it to almost anyone. Quite a plenty are incapable of parting with theirs. And worse, others give it away with a price tag.
The list goes on and on you'd realize that most of us stray away from the true essence of assuring full confidence to someone else's ability, character and strength.
I hate Robert De Niro's character in that movie. I don't like the idea of a circle of trust at all. It sounds like a private club with a limited, and a discriminatory criteria of membership. It sounds like a paranoiac tendency to me. I know someone like him. Worse than him in fact. Some twisted mind living in a normal household. Always thinking of the newest conspiracy theory.
TRUST. Beware of the human being who does not trust himself.
