“People who cannot trust are themselves not trustworthy”
— Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Simplified Meaning:
If someone finds it hard to trust others, it often means they might not be reliable or honest themselves. This happens because they assume others will act the same way they do. For example, if a friend is always suspicious that others will steal their things, it might be because they have stolen before or they often think about doing it. Imagine a person who always thinks people lie; it might be because they lie a lot themselves. By learning to trust others, one also becomes more trustworthy. In everyday life, if you show faith in others' honesty, they will likely trust you more, too.
