BLIND TRUST AND ITS PERILS..

As humans we are drawn towards social relationships. This urge to bond between people is what makes this world so complicated yet is responsible for its movement ahead. Humans are not the only organisms that show such complex bonds. There are others in the animal kingdom who show complex social behaviours. But the extreme of this interdependence is exclusive to human race which we term as blind faith.

After every night there is a day. This is an example of blind faith our ancestors had placed on nature which got ratified by modern science in later years. Sadly, humans are not that trustworthy. People change, circumstances compel them to act in ways that were not expected of them by individuals who had blindly trusted them. We are living in a highly dynamic world. Everything in this world changes including the people around us. This is the ultimate truth. It is beneficial for one to get this fact accepted. Living in denial of this fact can bring elemental damage. This denial is the cause behind increasing hatred, growing piles of cases in judicial bodies, decreasing longevity of relationships and many others.

When a person trusts an individual to the extreme that all of his/her faults seem to filter away then we can call that as blind faith. In Indian societies it is very common. People blindly trust one another because that is what our society has been like for centuries. This has also been the most prominent cause of our society being so pathetic. It is no new thing. The rapes mostly are caused by people upon whom the victim had blind trust. This blind trust is also responsible for so many crimes going unreported.

In all its sense, blind faith in someone can put you in grave peril. This is not only confined to social crimes but also economic crimes. The cases of corruption go unnoticed because the authorities have blind faith on their employees. In India we see this to its extreme. Here people try to sort out the crime internally because in most cases reporting such crimes can put their reputation at peril not to forget the chances of them getting involved and convicted. 

We have put corruption in a narrow crime bracket of accepting and giving bribes. In reality corruption is like an Octopus with tentacles in each sector. Blind trust of people feeds this Octopus and its hold grows stronger. From the education sector to governance, nothing has been left out. We are advised to become more and more conscious by elders not only to help us take informed decisions but also to avoid placing our trust on bad individuals blindly.

There are bad people and there are very bad people. We are surrounded by dark sided individuals who show off their bright side. It is upon us to avoid the tinted glasses of their false personality and seek the truth behind the face. No one is more foolish in this world than those who keep such dark sided individuals in their life and place blind trust in them knowing the person is not worthy of their trust. The culture of burying the crimes is plaguing our society. A society whose learned individuals keep to themselves even after coming across crimes is destined for decay. Sadly we are proudly topping that list. Power is mostly placed in such dark people by the public with tinted glasses of blind trust and hence the loop sided development . This must stop if we are to save our very existence. No one but us can stop it and the first step is to kill the instinct of BLIND TRUST completely.
