To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved

By titia.maas@web.de

A while ago I wrote about the book “Getting to the heart of employee engagement” from Les Landes . Les wrote: “The only way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him”. I had to think of this quote today when I watched this marvelous video:

Blind Trust Project

I truly love the message this project sends. It fits so well with the embrace concept. It is about tolerance, trust, believe in humanity, equality and the understanding that everyone is unique so we should refrain from generalizing.

I posted this project on my Facebook page and was looking for the right words to go along with it when I found:  

“To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.”

It’s a quote from George MacDonald a Scottish author and poet. It resonates with me very strongly. I also found:

“You are part of the puzzle of someone else’s life. You may never know where you fit but others will fill the holes in their lives with pieces of you.”

Quite deep. It looks like it was written by Bonnie Arbon. There is no information on who Bonnie Arbon is though. She seems to have posted this comment, at some point, somewhere and it went viral.

I found it on this blog:

Writing for the love of it

“We are all important in the lives of others, whether we realize it or not.
We all fit somewhere, somehow, sometimes even in different ways.
We may not be meant to “figure each other out”.
We may be indeed puzzle pieces that alone are simply a small snapshot,
but when placed all together portray a bigger picture.”
