Most people are just too gullible when it comes to supposed “public safety and greater good.” Most people just bite on it all. No matter how kooky, most people trust almost everything, especially the things most detrimental. “Trust” is at the root of it all. Trust is a powerful thing, but it has rational limits.
The term, “Greater good,” has rational limits as well. Does one knock out their teeth with a hammer for the “greater good?” What greater good is in public detriment, personal injury or financial insolvency? Public safety and public “greater good” can never cause personal injury or financial detriment, at least not lawfully, or so it is told, yet somehow this fact has been abrogated and forgotten. Most of the people forget the meaning and application of “trust” too.
There are many types of “trusts.” There are financial trusts, living trusts, charitable trusts, land trusts, Indian land trusts, banking trusts, inter alia, family trusts and most importantly the “trust” given to us by All Mighty God. What is that? It is justice in rule, equity, prosperity, civilization, rule of law, a hand shake, morality, virtue, and the surety we place in those in positions authority. It is a spoken word of guarantee, a loyal oath, a lover's true fidelity, and a thing to be relied upon. It is not a trifle and started with an original “trust,” an original covenant:
“Indeed, We offered the “TRUST” to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, but they “all” declined to bear it, being fearful of it. But humanity assumed it, for they are truly wrongful to themselves and ignorant of the “consequences.” With the result that All Mighty God will punish hypocrite men and women, also polytheistic* men and women, and All Mighty God will turn in Mercy to believing men and women. For All Mighty God is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” The Holy Quran, 33: 72-73
“Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue. [Editor’s note: No “trust” there in deceit] God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.”
“The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him: “Lo,this is the man that made not God his strength; but TRUSTED in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness. But I am like a green olive tree in the house of All Mighty God: I TRUST in the mercy of All Mighty God for ever and ever.”
Psalm 52:4-8
“A trust is a fiduciary arrangement that allows a third party, or trustee, to hold assets on behalf of a beneficiary or beneficiaries. Trusts can be arranged in many ways and can specify exactly how and when the assets pass to the beneficiaries. Since trusts usually avoid probate, your beneficiaries may gain access to these assets more quickly than they might to assets that are transferred using a will. Additionally, if it is an irrevocable trust, it may not be considered part of the taxable estate, so fewer taxes may be due upon your death. Assets in a trust may also be able to pass outside of probate, saving time, court fees, and potentially reducing estate taxes as well. Other benefits of trusts include:
Control of your wealth. You can specify the terms of a trust precisely, controlling when and to whom distributions may be made. You may also, for example, set up a revocable trust so that the trust assets remain accessible to you during your lifetime while designating to whom the remaining assets will pass thereafter, even when there are complex situations such as children from more than one marriage.
Protection of your legacy. A properly constructed trust can help protect your estate from your heirs' creditors or from beneficiaries who may not be adept at money management.
Privacy and probate savings. Probate is a matter of public record; a trust may allow assets to pass outside of probate and remain private, in addition to possibly reducing the amount lost to court fees and taxes in the process.
“Trust, Noun- reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence. A confident expectation of something; hope.”

*”Polytheism is the belief in multiple deities, which are usually assembled into a pantheon of gods and goddesses, along with their own religious sects and rituals. Polytheism is a type of theism. Within theism, it contrasts with monotheism, the belief in a singular God who is, in most cases, transcendent. In religions that accept polytheism, the different gods and goddesses may be representations of forces of nature or ancestral principles... Polytheism was the typical form of religion before the development and spread of the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, which enforce monotheism...Well-known historical polytheistic pantheons include the Sumerian gods, the Egyptian gods, the pantheon attested in Classical Antiquity (in ancient Greek and Roman religion), the Norse Æsir and Vanir, the Yoruba Orisha, and the Aztec gods.”

See, the one of the many diseases that plague the minds of the people is simply they “trust” too much. The television, public school, clergy, administrators, politicians, agencies, clubs, corporations, all and sundry, the people are just too gullible. Back in the days the snake oil salesman had a wagon and he peddled his wares to the suckers and moved on before they could become the wiser. That is no longer that case. The snake oil salesman doesn't need a wagon, he has television, social media, political parties and private corporations dedicated to the fleece, the grift, the hustle, and the generational con.
Unlike in the past, when if discovered the snake oil salesman would be strung up or jailed for his chicanery, in 2023, the snake oil is brick and mortar, with absolute free run, without any chance of sanction. In fact the snake oil is “normalized.” People actually clamor for it. It does not get any sweeter than that. Normalized fraud.
How did it get to that point? The point where chicanery is an accepted form of normalized behavior? Trust, that's how. Over generations the people have been groomed to trust everything and everybody except All Mighty God. They trust “experts,” they trust doctors, administrators and unqualified strangers with crucial life altering decisions without so much as a google search on the topic.
“Here, take this treatment, I'm not gonna tell you what it contains or how it works or what danger it poses, but trust me it's fine.”
2 weeks to flatten the curve, huh? Maybe everyone should just repent, pray, FEED THE POOR, change their minds, hearts, morals, and critically think, “FOR THE GREATER GOOD.”
Lord have Mercy
