Trust, Discernment, and Truth

The Archangels Discuss All Three

I’m sometimes too trusting of others, and I’ve been burned more than once. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt, rather than assume the worst, and it hasn’t always turned out well for me. However, I’d rather be that way than to look at everyone with suspicion and refuse to believe or trust anyone. I’ve learned that it doesn’t have to be one extreme or the other; there’s middle ground to be found. What I try to do now is give people the benefit of the doubt, but with caution and the search for information that supports the truth, whether it’s comfortable or not.

I still believe there are more good people than bad, more honest people than dishonest people, and more love than hate in the world. I also know that sometimes, it’s hard to know which category describes the people we meet. I asked the Archangels about how we can increase the trust in the world without being gullible. They answered in a broader way than I anticipated. I guess I expected a more upbeat answer, but they included some heavier things to consider, too . Their response follows.

Question: I would like to write about the lack of and need for trust in the world. Please give us some guidance on how we can improve this.
