oO0Oo Resident slips in silently ::waves::
SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Mickorod
Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Mick. GTSY
Alfred Kelberry: please chat away! me and sharon were the ones talking so i was curious :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: no need to be quiet, no topic really.
Alfred Kelberry: mick :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: yes gtsy Mick
SophiaSharon Larnia: no*
Aphrodite Macbain: Finished for now
Aphrodite Macbain: How about the topic of trust?
SophiaSharon Larnia sees a ruthed Mick
Alfred Kelberry: oh yes indeed!
SophiaSharon Larnia: hmm Aph
Alfred Kelberry: mick in a girl's body :) not often you get to see that :)
SophiaSharon Larnia now sees a space where Mick was - poof
Aphrodite Macbain: what does it mean and what is it we need to trust?
Aphrodite Macbain: I trust that people who are they say they are
Alfred Kelberry: i'd like more context please, aph :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: that someone wont cause harm, maybe
Aphrodite Macbain: Perhaps something to do with its opposite- mistrust
iwandertoo Resident: nods
Zon Kwan: hm..trust and ecpectation are different
Aphrodite Macbain: yes. true Zon
Aphrodite Macbain: should we say someone is untrustworthy because they don't meet our expectations?
SophiaSharon Larnia: i wouldnt
Zon Kwan: i cant trust even though i know someone is lying
Aphrodite Macbain: what would you be trusting then Zon?
Zon Kwan: trust is an inner attitude
Zon Kwan: it doesnt depend on the othere
Alfred Kelberry: i think we trust no one inherently
Aphrodite Macbain: You mean it is a state rather than an expecation?
Zon Kwan: yes
Zon Kwan: trust is an attitude
Zon Kwan: towards life
iwandertoo Resident: I think u can trust others to be exactly as they are
Aphrodite Macbain: I trust most people but not everyone
Zon Kwan: if i want you to be honest to me,,its an expectation
SophiaSharon Larnia: nods at Susan
oO0Oo Resident: wb Mickorod
SophiaSharon Larnia: wb Mick, I thin
iwandertoo Resident: only one has to discover what they are...and often expectation gets in the way
SophiaSharon Larnia: think
Aphrodite Macbain: Is it really you Mick or Ruth.? What can I trust?
--BELL--
SophiaSharon Larnia: heh
Zon Kwan: one can never know what the other will do tomorrow, as he doesnt necessarily know himself, things change, its an expectation
Zon Kwan: or today
Aphrodite Macbain: But if one trusts blindly, one could be setting oneself up for disappointment or worse
iwandertoo Resident: yep
Aphrodite Macbain: Con men for instance
Aphrodite Macbain: or con women
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Alfred Kelberry: generally, people expect us to behave in a consistent manner. unless inconsistency (eccentric personality) is a norm.
iwandertoo Resident: nods
Zon Kwan: thats an expectation..ivf you espect you will always be dissapointed
Aphrodite Macbain: Mmmm. What could be seen as consistent in one culture could be seen as weird in another
iwandertoo Resident: if one is deceptive, one should not be trusted. that trust needs to be earned back
Aphrodite Macbain: I agree Susan
Zon Kwan: one can only trust ones own inner voice
Aphrodite Macbain: But I usually begin by trusting someone until I am proved wrong
Alfred Kelberry: aph, weird or not - consistency is what expected :)
Aphrodite Macbain: Hmmm-I'm not sure if I can trust that inner voice. It's be wrong many times
Zon Kwan: its all there is
iwandertoo Resident: sometimes that trust cannot be repaired
Aphrodite Macbain: True Alfred
SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Wol
Aphrodite Macbain: Hi wol- I trust that's you
Wol Euler: evening all
SophiaSharon Larnia: gtsy
Zon Kwan: if i trust someones else voice..im lost
Wol Euler: this is me
oO0Oo Resident: Hi Wol
Alfred Kelberry: take merilyn manson. you expect him to be weird.
Alfred Kelberry: if he's not weird - it's weird! :)
iwandertoo Resident: hehe
Alfred Kelberry: woly girl :)
iwandertoo Resident: hi wol
Alfred Kelberry: mmm
Aphrodite Macbain: 's head spins
Alfred Kelberry: we talk about trust and expectations, woly
Wol Euler: ah :)
Zon Kwan: if i trust another..its my decision..my inner voice says trust him
Alfred Kelberry: *waits for widsom from woly*
Wol Euler: what conclusions have you reached?
Alfred Kelberry: um...
Zon Kwan: dont trust another
SophiaSharon Larnia: heh
Wol Euler: oh boo
Alfred Kelberry: ha!
SophiaSharon Larnia: ya boo
Zon Kwan: rust inlife
Aphrodite Macbain: One of the characteristics of a good friend is that they are trustowrthy, they dont deeive, they dont lie, they dont betray
Aphrodite Macbain: *deceive
Zon Kwan: whre canyou find one
iwandertoo Resident: they correct their wrongs...
Aphrodite Macbain: :-) I have quite a few
SophiaSharon Larnia: i think everyone does those things, whether they know it or not, even to themselves, to some degree
Zon Kwan: we all lie even to ourselves
Zon Kwan: how can we expect the other not to
SophiaSharon Larnia: so i am not a good friend to myself
Aphrodite Macbain: do we doi it deliberately?
Zon Kwan: does the other ?
iwandertoo Resident: its the deliberate harm - the calculated actions
SophiaSharon Larnia: nods
Aphrodite Macbain: I am talking about deliberate deception, deliberte lying
Zon Kwan: thats easy one
Zon Kwan: its a sin
Aphrodite Macbain: an easy sin?
Zon Kwan: but we dont lie that way
Zon Kwan: usually
Aphrodite Macbain: we?
Zon Kwan: nods
Aphrodite Macbain: I am speaking for myself
Zon Kwan: im speaking in general
Alfred Kelberry: decepticons approaching!
Aphrodite Macbain: :-) glad that's clear
SophiaSharon Larnia: :)
Aphrodite Macbain: Is it the norm for politicians to deceive?
Zon Kwan: yes
iwandertoo Resident: no
Aphrodite Macbain: do we expect them to?
Zon Kwan: yes
Alfred Kelberry: :)
Aphrodite Macbain: so we trust politicians to deceive
iwandertoo Resident: no
Zon Kwan: but we play the game of not knowing that
iwandertoo Resident: lowest common denominator speak
Aphrodite Macbain: so how can we know the difference?
Zon Kwan: politician wants to be in power
Aphrodite Macbain: We can chose to be gullible and trusting, or we can chose to question and look more deeply
Wol Euler: are you "deceived" when you are lied to by somebody whom you expect to lie to you?
Zon Kwan: sif you speak truth you ownt stay in power
iwandertoo Resident: no
Aphrodite Macbain: no, I don't think so Wol
Aphrodite Macbain: we have become so cynical
Alfred Kelberry: woly, it's an expected behavior, so it's a norm, woly. we talked about that :)
Wol Euler: agreed
Aphrodite Macbain: because people decieve so often it has become the norm
Wol Euler: forgive me for not being here then
Alfred Kelberry: *purrs*
Aphrodite Macbain: where are you Wol?
--BELL--
Aphrodite Macbain wonders whether she should trust a dog that purrs
Wol Euler: at home, having dinner
oO0Oo Resident: brb
Wol Euler: = open-face sandwich and tea
Aphrodite Macbain: and us!
SophiaSharon Larnia: laughs (Aph)
Wol Euler: indeed
iwandertoo Resident: hehe
Aphrodite Macbain: Perhaps we add the spice
Alfred Kelberry: wuff!
Alfred Kelberry: :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: chai tea?
Wol Euler: earl grey
Alfred Kelberry: *barks deceivingly*
Wol Euler: milk, no sugar
SophiaSharon Larnia: yum
Aphrodite Macbain: what's for desert?
Alfred Kelberry: this is how bond has it, i think :)
Wol Euler is reminded of a line from a short story: "Hello", she lied.
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Alfred Kelberry: heh
Aphrodite Macbain: very shrt
Aphrodite Macbain: short
Alfred Kelberry: srt
Aphrodite Macbain: and to the point
