"If we truly trust no one, we cannot survive." -Megan Turner

What happens if you are unable to trust anyone? What could happen?
Do we need other people in our lives to live a happy life? Why or why not?

When you start to lose the trust you loose other things, important things like relationships with people you love. when you lose trust in people it feels kinda like you don't feel safe.  when its someone you feel strongly about its harder to lose them. but if you can't trust anyone it makes it harder on yourself because when you single yourself out you become depressed and feel alone. trust builds relationships and without it, there's no ground for trust or a relationship to build. its hard to be around someone or not be awkward I guess you could say around someone without trust because it feels like there's nothing between you and the person. What I'm trying to say is without trust you start to lose people and it becomes harder to recreate the trust. and without people, the brain can't function properly because it needs a company. we need the company to be happy as if you were around your best friends it makes you? Happy when you feel happy you get excited. that's what I think it means to have trust this is from my own experiences so I hope it helps.

now, of course, the quality and the seasonability of these winter dreams varied, but the stuff of them remained.   they persuaded dexter several years later to pass up a business course at the state university—his father, prospering now, would have paid his way—for the precarious advantage of attending an older and more famous university in the east, where he was bothered by his scanty funds. but do not get the impression, because his winter dreams happened to be concerned at first with musings on the rich, that there was anything merely snobbish in the boy. he wanted not association with glittering things and glittering people—he wanted the glittering things themselves. often he reached out for the best without knowing why he wanted it—and sometimes he ran up against the mysterious denials and prohibitions in which life indulges.

there you go thats what we are missing

a.) literature that explores grotesque characters and eerie, violent occurrences in a dreary setting.
