In my opinion, yes. It has to start somewhere.

+Trust is an interesting abstract concept, however I'm not sure it's well defined. Do I trust someone?, well that depends! I consider two unique trusts, explicit and implicit trust. Explicit trust is where you trust someone's word - if they say they will (or won't) do something, you can trust them on their word. Implicit trust is what I consider something more powerful and rare. Implicit trust is that while my friends are working late, I won't run around to their place and sleep with their wife. I should not have to tell them I will never do this, it's simply back to Greig's biblical point. So, if asked if I trust someone, I'll ask to what extent - you ought to always (be able to) trust your friends, but you need not be friends with those you trust (explicitly at least).
