This "trust nobody" attitude limits human potential
TraceOneInfinite:
I'm learning that the "trust nobody" attitude alot of us were raised with was very limiting. Being raised in America there is a premium placed on being independant, even to the point of being stubborn and negligent. Now, as a Muslim I am struggling to correct these habits.
One of the Amirs and brothers of knowledge from my local community often councils me and provides for me what we call "mushura". Sometimes I don't want to listen and I want to make desicions in haste, and he explains to me that when we make desicions on our own, we often make those desicions according to our "nafs", lower desires, and that it has been a practice of pious people throughout history to humble themselves before their mentors and accept direction from them.

What you saying? If you're implying we should be trusting people in general, then you're full of it. Whether you like it or not, this world is influenced by the leader of hell, it happens 24/7. I don't know what environment you're in, but I can't afford to trust anybody around here except my closest folks. There's a line people cross where they feel like family to you and can be trusted, but even then you have to stay on your toes at all times and ask god for guidance.

If you're a muslim, I'm sure it's easy to trust others within your community. Just like if you're Christain, you could probably trust other Christians in your community without even really knowing them. But for the people who aren't religeous, or aren't actively involved in their religeon, it's just stupid to trust people you don't know. Trust is earned.
