Truth, Trust & Friendship

If a friend of mine lies about something serious I don't care, I trust my friends and they can lie about whatever they feel they need too, I simply presume they had their reasons, that is not to say I would not be hurt by a lie but that I would always forgive it. This makes me in some peoples eyes a bit of a looser or someone asking to be walked all over, if it does then so be it.

I just don't see it's possible to have a friend you don't just trust as a matter of course, otherwise how can I have a conversation with anyone, if you don't take your friends at their word then you can never have a meaningful conversation.

Also I very much believe that trust begets trust, if you offer unsolicited trust you receive it back.
