On Trust and Faith

You know the old saw, "In God we trust, all others pay cash." I have trust in the universality of ... well, things. The "thing-ness" of things. While I am fine with things, I am not so fine with people, politicians and governments. A T-shirt adage "Beware of the Power of Stupid People in Groups" says it better than I ever could. I suspect what drives my doubts is a lack of faith that the universe will protect me, that other people mean well, that my trust won't be violated. Hah! 1 out of 3 are not good odds in the faith biz. For a good read, here is a link on trust, faith and, well, the universe. http://www.killingthebuddha.com/manifesto.htm
