In friendships and relationships, there comes a point in time in which we let people into our lives and put our trust in them.

How is it that we come to put our trust in someone? Is it a blind leap of faith? Is trust earned? How is it earned? Do we ever really know for sure if we can trust that person and if they will come through for us in our times of need? Will they do what's best for us then the time comes? Will they do things with our best interest in mind?

Perhaps we will never know until faced with some formidable dilemma where the stakes are high. Then we will see what people are made of.
