I have
removed all the definitions that I did not feel related what “trust” means to
me. I believe in my Sir. He believes in me. WE believe in US. We accept each
other as we are. Faults, flaws and redemptions in one. Also, not only is E
responsible for me, I am responsible for him. For his reputation and his
wellbeing. He has my hope and my confidence and I… I am his property. We have
an arrangement that I am to be “held in such a way”… lol Maybe not exactly the
same, but I feel it still applies.
The verb
though… “Believe in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of” wow. “Allow
someone to have, use, or look after with confidence” oh and “Commit to the
safekeeping of” those define the action of submission for me so well.
Submission is trust. It cannot exist independently of trust. Not in a healthy
manner. I place reliance on that which I have little control all the time
because I have given that control to him.
He has such a big job. In that one thing, I put
so much on him. I need my trust in him. That reliance. To give him that control
and have little of it. And I only want to give him more. I don’t see how he
does it.
So trust in
the context of submission… is everything.
