We trust strangers with our cars.

We trust giving all our data on a platform of which we have absolutely no idea who is actually looking at this.

We have thrown ourselves into trusting situations like never before.

So true.

Unbelievable.

We trust entire networks.

We used to, Rachel Botsman talks about how we used to trust in little tribes.

Then we trusted in bigger communities.

Now we trust invisible corporations, complete.

And so she has a beautiful definition.

Trust is a confident engagement with the unknown.

Trust, I have expectations of you, but I'm not sure that you actually will do these things.

What closes the gap between my expectations and the inherent uncertainty of life is trust.

Trust is that leap of faith.

Trust is what closes that gap.

And how do we build it?

In small increments, sliding door moments, movement by movement.

I learn that I can count on you, that I can rely on you, that you have my back, that you think of me when I'm not there.

That constancy, that permanence I was talking about.

That you don't put your interest ahead of mine when I'm not in the room.
