Yes, we are continually developing narratives to our satisfaction. And sometimes that satisfaction provides a release for our violent reactions to those bits of dissatisfaction in life.

Trust has much to do with how we accept the narrative.  

We can either trust the narrative will work for us, or that we can help work it.

But, that may be too much to go into at this time ...as we can also trust a lie to work for us.  But, as of now, let's limit it to only the kind of trust that we believe in for what we believe would be for all our benefit.

Often we trust with reservation ...but, we painfully accept to a degree because we feel someone else knows more on the subject than we do.  And we do this often with doctors, and we feel we have no choice other than to let them help us.  I quite comfortably trust my dentist ...though it is not always comfortable.  Yet, I know some people have difficulty trusting in this situation.

I do have reservations about trusting someone will fix my car ...but, as inept as I am with cars, I have to decide who will repair what I know I can't.

We often accept the fact that someone will do something, though we know there is a possibility for error.  We book a flight with an airline ...though we don't usually know who will fly the aircraft, or how much sleep they had the evening before.

There are many diverse scenarios where we could discuss trust ...but, let me mention now the scientific recognition of what we consider 'fact'.

We can say it is a fact that the earth revolves around the sun. And few would disagree with that statement.  Yet, we don't learn that from simple unaided observation.  Without the knowledge that the earth is also rotating, observation would appear to speak to the sun revolving around the earth.  But, we trust the studies and instrumentation of learned people who make it their occupation to observe and conclude things we would not otherwise know.

We also seem to like data ...but, we also show a tendency to not be bothered by the manipulation of it, if it fits our already accepted narrative.  But, sorry, I said I wasn't going to get into that ...as I was going to focus on what we chose to believe for ourselves, for not just selfish reasons, but for everyone's mutual benefit.  (And I don't mean for this to be symbiotic.)

Okay, we give our trust ...or give in to the authority of other people whom we feel are more knowledgeable in certain areas. Or we could say they are more experienced.  The auto mechanic is more experienced than me with cars (probably everyone is more experienced than me in that area).

Yet, there are some areas that we may feel we have enough experience that we feel confident in our own judgment.

So, what about our own experience??
