Monday Matters 15

In this article, Andrew Z Cohen examines an aspect of love that he believes is vital and often overlooked, trust. He believes that trust is the product and "sweetest gift" of absolute true love. He thinks that many people say they love another, but they actually don't trust. Trust is what brings true freedom and space, that's otherwise hard to acquire. Most tend to become attached when they feel they love someone, so to trust that someone will be faithful, there for you, etc. is a hard thing to do, but essential. Being vulnerable is important. This question could be relevant, because I feel like it expands the definition of love. Although it may be hard to research, it would be a new twist on vulnerability which tends to normally be viewed negatively.
