I agree with what you are saying Erin. But it is still only temporal trust. It is different from the deep knowing you feel in your heart when you trust completely.
There has to be a fair degree of automatic trust in any society. For example you trust other drivers on the road not to do something silly that might endanger your life or an airline pilot to take off and land safely!
But 'bad' things still happen to people. When they do we try to understand why it happened and what we can learn from it. Sometimes it is not really a question of
should I trust that person ever again and by extension become a mistrusting person or trust conditionally at the risk of being hurt again. It really goes back to what I said earlier...
