These nouns denote a feeling of certainty that a person or thing will not fail. Trust implies depth and assurance of feeling that is often based on inconclusive evidence: The mayor vowed to justify the trust the electorate had placed in him.
Faith connotes unquestioning, often emotionally charged belief: "Often enough our faith beforehand in an uncertified result is the only thing that makes the result come true" William James.
Confidence, frequently implies stronger grounds for assurance: "Confidence is a plant of slow growth in an aged bosom: youth is the season of credulity" William Pitt.
Reliance connotes a confident and trustful commitment to another: "What reliance could they place on the protection of a prince so recently their enemy?" William Hickling Prescott.

Dependence suggests reliance on another to whom one is often subordinate: "When I had once called him in, I could not subsist without Dependence on him" Richard Steele. See Also Synonyms at care, rely.

We went from 8 A's to 4, I wonder why?

Answer 1

Trust should be based on test of truth. It is an earned quality. Since logic is beyond most people, and love intefers with sound judgment, trust is something which certailnly requires the caution of test--many of them.

Answer 2

I always think that trust is an awful lot of responsibility to put on the other person. It is a choice you make. Some make their choice based on truths, then find the truths were, well... false. Some base their choice on feelings of love, but find that the other party does not have the same level of love. I don't think you can look at trust from a logical point of view; too many variables. Ethical? Hmm... maybe it is unethical to trust, thus placing a burden of responsibility on another person. I think it is purely emotional. One's level of trust is directly proportionate to one's ability to forgive.

Answer 3

In my own view, Trust must be base on youf feelings but not necessarily based on love. You may trust a person because you have the confidence in him but not exactly because you love the person. The confidence you give and trust lies on the performance indicatively. On some point have the trust with a peron, the love follows later but not the sole and primary basis to based trust.

Good question.

Answer 4

Philosophy has nothing to do with trust. Trust is a cost-benefit decision. In repetitive games, you should trust if the expected value of trusting is higher than the expected value of not trusting and not trust otherwise. In non-repetitive high-stakes games, you should trust only if you have to.

Answer 5

it is something made only for everybody to have and think of how they have the same things as any person in existance
