Trust
Trust makes life work. We eat food prepared by others, drive on roads built by others; we rely, every day, actions of others, and we are relied upon in turn. Where trust fails chaos closes in. Our entire civilization relies on a singular faith that we can count on others. Where trust is thick, we walk out of our homes, go shopping, play in the park, knowing that we are safe, knowing that danger is a rarity. Where trust is thin, we stay indoors, the parks are closed, the government corrupt, and danger is the norm. Life without trust is a fearful, ragged existence. We need it at large, to know that we can live as a society; we need it close at hand, to know we can love, and rely on our friends. Without trust, we are the lone wolf, proud and aloof. And inevitably doomed.
