To Be Trusted Is a Greater Compliment Than Being Loved
Looking for true love? What about true trust?
“To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.”
― George MacDonald
That quote woke my heart and my mind. Both turned to look, keeping a minute of silence, how this young lady in red walked owning the world?
Step, step, she walked.
“How can a sentence be so beautiful?” said the heart.
“How can a sentence be so meaningful?” said the mind.
As calculated as he usually behaves. The mind walked toward this girl. Such a cocky guy, “I think I like you,” he said. “It doesn't happen very often, you know?”
She smiled. She was happy. But pretended not.
What I like about you, the mind continued, is how you point to the fact that whom you love you might not trust. Trust is not mandatory in love.
“Aren't you the romantic type?” she said.
“This computer would choose ideas based on intelligence and survival of the fittest if I weren't here, darling,” said the heart. Joining the conversation.
