David Sherry, Trust

Within daily life, I view myself from the perspective of someone else. I like to call this person Frank and then I view other people from the viewpoint of David, my own self. These recent explorations have exposed a chilling truth. No one can be trusted, especially those closest to you like parents, close friends, partners (marital or otherwise), they know too much. These people know how to dig the knife in deepest. The first people they tell an important deceitful piece of scandal concerning one's own self too are those people who really shouldn't be told. I'm starting to doubt Frank; I don't want to but I also know what he knows and information like that in the wrong hands can be a dangerous thing. Doubt is the seed of an uncontainable fascist revolt; we have all seen it happen many times. I am trying to suppress this doubt with hope. And the only hope one can have for trust is in the prison system especially strangers who are lifers; I've always found sanctuary in murderers. I'd go so far to say that I'd trust my life with a lifer, especially PIN numbers, security numbers , bank and property details and need-to-tell-somebody scandals.
