we encounter ubiquitous people whom we rarely talk to, confide with, or even rely on. They are the most distant creatures within our closest proximities, the song fillers in our music albums, the untouched bottles of honey and cough syrup in our refrigerators, the inconspicuous little print ads in the pages of our daily newspapers, the coins left scattering on our dressers, inside our bags, on the coffee tables, and in the pockets of our jeans left hanging on bedroom walls.
We may not be fond of talking to them or befriending them, but trust somehow transcends the boundaries of friendship. Mutual assurance appears to be a subliminal stimulus that needs no meticulous thought-processing. Intimate familiarity becomes unnecessary a prerequisite to forging a bond of trust between two human beings. It happens just like that. Both sides of the coin appear to work on a different level of credence and faith, well outside the dimensions of cozy acquaintanceships and physical interactions.
Sometimes, the person whom you exchange the littlest amount of words with may well be the person whom you can trust the most.
