Trust connects People

Humans have evolved an amazingly complex social system, making it impossible to survive without interacting with the others. I claim that "trust" is what connects people and makes you understand them.

My second-hand bike was troubling me since last December. I took it to a mechanic, last week.A lot of parts were changed and I had to shell out about three thousand rupees. I was suspicious, I felt they were trying to rip me off. All I could do was, to trust them. I decided to observe the work, before jumping to conclusions. 

It was an amazing moment once the bike was handed over to me. I left the clutch and it jumped forward. The mechanic said "Bhaiyya uska pickup masth hogaya hain...thoda dheera nikaalo". I couldn't believe that. It took us three days to figure out the actual problem. We changed a lot of old parts(CDI,Battery,Engine oil,tyres,Clutch plate,Pressure plate). The only way I could connect with the mechanic was by trusting him.

The garage(National Garage,Pashan) is run by Bengalis. I realized people who work hard for their food, know the value of hard-earned money. They would never feel like cheating. They had refused to take money for a minor repair, yesterday. They said, we understand the problems of students and we don't change parts unnecessarily. She was quite amused to know about our institute and the course I was doing.

Trust is an important thing and it drives stock markets. Blind trust is not good, it crashes stock markets and causes great depressions.

Trust is the foundation of any Social system. You wouldn't be using your phone/laptop to read this post, unless you trust the manufacturer. I wouldn't drive that vehicle, unless I trust "Bajaj". You eat at a restaurant, trusting the chef over there. Basically every human is good and its only trust which connect you with him and bring the "good" in him. The way to express this "trust" in through a smile. I repeat trust connects people and the best language is a smile. Keep smiling, spread smiles :)
