definition
"Real trust is your own fragrance; it flourishes even in betrayal, for it is a transformative force that transcends the worthiness of others."
According to Osho, real trust is your own fragrance—it does not depend on the other's worthiness. If you only trust the trustworthy, your trust is weak and calculating. Authentic trust continues even when someone betrays you; it refuses to manufacture distrust. Such unconditional trust may even lovingly assist the betrayer, because trust is a transformative force rooted in your being, not a bargain with another’s behavior.
True trust stays in your heart no matter what others do, because it’s about who you are, not about them.
