Trust comes naturally to most of us. What may prove difficult is maintaining trust and/or defending it.

There're 10 parts. Sorry, not in English, but it's one of the best movies and it tells the truth about our history.

Handwriter, I'v just watched a movie Ashes (it's Russian one). Still under the influence.  Very good movie. I think it's complicated to tell the truth or not. The two heroes had one thing in common to lie for the sake of hiding their past; by wicked hand of fate their switched roles. One being a former safe cracker turned into a very positive man saving people's lives, the other one being a former cheif of the Red Army turned into merciless, ruthless bandit killing people and robbing them. Both of them were lying for fear, but one was shining, the other one was "decaying".

Why is it that something we regard as destructive--but admittedly human--do we excuse our lies while condemning all others?

Conundrum: if you say that everyone lies, which is truth, you mark yourself as an honest liar, and no one trusts those kinds of liars.

And another more difficult thing to forgive when somebody has lied to you all his life.

Look for the values. The culprit, the killer can tell you the truth, but his lifestyle will be of a criminal.

And the one who lies tries to hide his past, but his new life is innocent and beautiful.

So, listen to your heart...
