#trust is a universal thing - and that worked for him for decades. But #distrust is universal, too and it feels like he’s about to find out what that means.

@robinedgar59.bsky.socialWhen it comes to trust, or indeed #distrust, I like to paraphrase a saying by Publius Ovidius Naso aka Ovid:
If you want to be trusted, be #trustworthy.
Sadly, many #UUA ministers & #UUAleaders can't be trusted to #TellTheTruth about #ClergySexAbuse.

@robinedgar59.bsky.socialI'm no fan of Ronald Reagan, but I have liked his quote of the Russian proverb "доверяй, но проверяй" (i.e. "Trust but verify") ever since he said it.
Once someone has said or done things that have caused #distrust, I would say:
"Don't trust, but verify."

@thecanonist.bsky.socialTHE AGE OF DISTRUST
“Good morning.”
“Prove it.”
Funny—but disturbingly accurate. Healthy skepticism asks for evidence when it matters. Distrust assumes everything is a lie before the conversation even begins.
What happens to society when nobody believes?
@gone-things.bsky.social#Distrust was a formal way of not trusting any one party too much in a situation of grave risk or deep doubt. It was commonly expressed in civics as a division or balance of powers, or in politics as means of validating treaty terms.
