Confidence is the feeling most needed for the construction of social order, without which it could not even stand up. Without trust we can not do anything, we could not do any act that connects us with others or with things because the eternal fear of taking a risk and receive a damage block our every action.
[...] Even infants are born with a kind of confidence that the original support them so they do not have any time to make a choice to continue with this attitude, until something happens that shakes or destroy it.
[...] In establishing the relationship of trust often resort to using the promise or contract, explicitly or, more often, even implicit. If we fall asleep on the train or plane do not shake no covenant with our close, yet we trust that will take advantage of our sleep to pull out the wallet. If we bring the car to a mechanic or we go to the doctor, it is because we trust their professional competence and believe that they are not there to deceive or exploit us. These are all implied terms of trust, largely unconscious, confirming among other things, the idea that trust is a widespread feeling is always present, of which we notice only when it fails or deteriorates, such as health.
