Anyone here ever attend a college football or soccer game? Anyone who has ever watch the male and female cheerleaders in action? Anyone ever enjoy the symmetrical physicality of their routines? Finale often involves two guys interlocking both hands to toss one of the female cheerleaders high in the air? At the pinnacle of her ascent, she's fully cognizant of her body's imminent fall. Two or more strong men are in place to safety net that fall. She places her hope, confidence, faith and trust in mere people to spare her head and back and torso and legs severe (if not debilitating) injury, paralysis or even a horrific death on the field of play. You and I will one day have need of someone to catch us. Who?

Great question. I was told in a management class to replace the concept of "trust" by "predictability." Trust only to the degree you can predict. Does your question work that way?

There is a difference between a practised routine,
and a leap of faith.
They train and work out their routines to perfection.
But I know what you are getting at.
You think that your god will catch you when you leap into the unknown.

It depends on the situation but I suppose it is mainly about qualities at the bottom of things -- the reliability of our own predictions of what a person will do -- which may depend on some quantitative elements or may not.

Right on, JS. Qualitative dimensions of a person are key in any decision
regarding trust... horizontal and vertical.
