No Free Lunch
Yesterday we ate in a very crowded workers caf on the outskirts of Siena. It was, large, crowded and had several serving area – a bar, a counter where you could get slices of pizza and another counter for pasta, salads and a meat plate, plus refrigerators containing bottled water and soft drinks
After eating we went to the cash and told them what we had eaten. The whole thing operated on an honor system where they trusted that customers would give an honest account of what they had eaten and drunk

doesn’t the world also work on the micro and the macro level of trust as well, the food we eat we trust is not contaminated, the plane you fly in you trust doesn’t fall out of the sky, the cells of the body keep multiplying and the sun comes over the horizon every day. so trust is an illusionary perception of our reality, as we know the quantum world takes away trust in the conventional sense by showing that what we believe to trust in this reality doesn’t always apply in another reality.
on a lighter note my wife once lived in a council area of birmingham she also left the door unlocked for the fifteen years she was there, for some unknown reason unknown to me who lived in australia she never was broken into or had any problems. maybe trust is transferrable on a consciousness level that, if we trust they trust!
and so forth.

Yes I do have the sense that if we trust those around is then it becomes transformed into a win-win situation.
