Trust apocalypse

The smallest element of trust needed in Universe is our word.

Our trust in leadership, institutions and democracy is completely bankrupt.

Does this give us permission to become untrustworthy, as if there is no point in being a stand for trust? 

Does this allow us to step over lies so obvious, where a trail of clear evidence is there for all to see?

The strongest stand we the people can take against a trustless society is to be our word.

To be our word.

Revolutionary. 

Yet even those who preach tenderness and care, even those who aspire to a Syntropic World, find being their word a mountain too high.

This is why this small, single action is so revolutionary.

It requires integrity at the ground level. With self.

To be our word. To self.

Do not lie to yourself. Be rigorous in interrogating the agreements you make with yourself.

Be our word to others. 

Make agreements that you keep. Notify the counterparty as soon as possible if, for some reason, you are unable to keep your agreement.

Be your word as if your life and humanity’s future might depend upon it. 

Perhaps you think I am being dramatic. 

Our world needs trust-based enterprises and communities to collaborate. 

Trust starts simply with being our word, consistently.

Being our word is the architecture of integrity.
