This is a letter written to all my friends, and an explanation as to why I asked them.
Dearest friend,
We have been through the whole nine yards together. I have a simple, inevitable question for you. "Do you trust me?" Before you become prejudice towards the matter, I would like you to acknowledge the courage it takes to ask a friend this "everyday" question. Nothing can sever our relationship, except for ourselves, which calls up this inquiry. It can determine the truth behind our relationship, whether it is worth having, and also, it introduces the ideas of deception and veracity. If you don't immediately answer this, then you either never thought about it, or you want to make sure you are completely accurate. If you immediately answer, you either have already thought of this, or you don't mean what you say, it is just a reaction. If you can answer "yes" truthfully, then you should be able to answer this "interview" with a little thought and a lot of honesty.---
How much do you trust me? Would you do anything for me? What would you do to keep me alive? If I had to move, what would you go through to stay with me? Would you sell me out for you own personal benefit? Most importantly: Why do you trust me?---
To those of you reading this, I want you to know that this is how I base my friends. If they can't answer then they don't know me well enough. If their answer is well thought out, they are good friends. If they say they don't trust me, they will either never trust me, or they haven't learned to trust. My answers are usually well thought out because I never want something as valuable as friendship ruined by the misuse of my vocabulary. The only reason I didn't have a story with a moral or something you learn based on what I wrote is because friendship doesn't come with an explanatory manual. Some things you have to learn yourself. Thank you for your time.
