Hi Yesenia
I would have to say "trust", on the grounds that "honesty" is the quality that most often comes out top when people are asked what quality they want to find in: A partner, their boss, their colleagues at work, etc., etc.
And "honesty" and "trust" DO seem to go together, whereas I'm not convinvced that "trust" and "respect" always go together.
That is to say, I can respect someone for all sorts of reasons without necessarily trusting them. In fact I can respect someone I never knew in person, and so without ever knowing whether I would have trusted them if I had met them face-to-face.
Take Albert Einstein, for example. Though he's long dead, many people still hold him in very high respect because of his scientific work.
But was he trustworthy? Can the people who respect him now really know whether they would have trusted him whilst he was alive? Or how far?
(BTW - this is just an example using someone very famous. I have absolutely NO IDEA how trustworthy Einstein was, and no reason to doubt his honesty.)

Respect. If one has respect for themselves and others the trust will follow.
If you had trust and no respect, what would be the point?

It has to do with the concept of people have about respect...most of people I know think respect implies keeping the real feelings inside...
I do believe we can be respectful even if we speak straight forward and trust in people...otherwise is not healthy nor practical.

Whether you are the skeptical questioning type or the trusting type respect is good intentioned and one can hardly say they have truly good intentions without finding worth .
Some might respect you out of fear if you have a gun but can they trust that their respect is well founded and does not diminish their and your integrity? Both are good if in the reasonable context of life.

If you do not trust someone, how can you respect someone. Respect and trust are earned and they go hand in hand. What you have is ask yourself is if the lack of trust or respect for a partner is based on your partners actions, or your experiences.

Trust, and respect go hand in hand. You cannot respect someone you don't trust, or trust someone you don't respect.
What causes a person to lack respect for another person. Lack of trust.

well..you have to respect all the people and trust God first and then trust other poeple ..that are your friends ..or trust a political personality..or a social service,,but you cannot trust anyone..God!..have you heard about Judah?
how is when the colegue (woman)of your husband looks at a picture with your husband and says..well besides all..he is so cool !actualy i don't know what it means cool 1in english..but i heard it in the past very used by a boy..a colegue from university.....
or how can you trust some of your friends..who do stupid things..let's say..your husband is in the bed...she comes..visits you...and want to see your husband who is still in the bed ...being sunday..supose he stay all the day there in the bed..and your friend..a woman actually..tell to your husband ''how are you..?'' and goes and sits on his bed..near him..while i was there..standing..well i think you shouldn't trust anyone....or when you decided to come back aftre the divorce..because your husband refused to divorce..and you smile and think he loves..you..and this frined..asks you..well you came..back..do you love him?..and i was surpriesed..and i said..if i came back it means i love him..yes..(well he didn't deserve it ..but i was loving him)..then other woman..my husband colegue..was sitting at the table..and kidding with me..and suddenly she said..well why did you come back?- and i said..why do you ask me..is that your problem?and i said..i love him..he didn't want to divorce..in court..i supose i love him...(because i thought he loved me )..and she said..that is what i wanted to hear..that is all...
well..once my husband said..if i didn't come back..he would have married this woman..although she was already married with an older man..could be his father....and i realised..that while i was gone..some women..would have liked to marry my husband...well i am about to divorce again..he can marry ALL of them...he would better go to Islam ..and become mohamedan ..and marry up to 4 women..anyway..when he insulted me..on the matter of i being a christian..he said..that he is not a christian..that he is a mahomedan..well he should have told me this 12 years ago..that he denies..the faith in Holly Trinity...and God's morality...this man destryed my life..that only God..can give me life again...
so you cannot trust people...you see.after 12 years ..my husband said he is mahomedan..not christian..so whom i trusted..whom?tell me whom?well i will tell you..i trusted myself ..i thought ..that all the people have souls like mine....well it is not so..that is why the word ..imorality and vices exist in court..
