Trust And Love
It's nice to hear that, although feelings of trust and love are closely related in brain activity, love seems to be more complicated than trust. I wonder if we're wired that way because we can receive love as infants long before we can even understand what it is. The ability to trust is usually based on a history of dealings with another human being, but love can be given and received without such history. We sometimes think of loving and trusting as making us vulnerable to hurt, but it's also true that those who learn to learn to use love and trust together wisely are powerful people who can accomplish things the rest of the world can only dream of.
