Please come chare your thoughts, experiences, feelings, and wisdom! Here are some of the questions we may discuss:

1. How “trusting” are you, in general? Do you ever err in being too trusting, or not trusting enough – and in what kinds of situations?

2. Can you share a notable high or low point in your life-experiences of trusting in others?

3. How do we first learn to trust? Where does our capacity to trust come from (Erik Erikson considered Trust to be the first stage in every infant’s development.)

4. How does trust help us make life predictable, create a sense of community, and facilitate social and economic relationships?

5. What has happened to our trust in our institutions and public figures? In our newspapers, magazines, and on TV?

6. When trust is lost, can it be regained? If so, how?

7. How can we avoid misplaced trust, gullibility, credulity, and other weaknesses in how we place our trust. (“In God we trust – all others pay cash.”)
