This TRUST thing!
I recently had the “joy” of sitting between two men on an early flight to Johannesburg. In the middle seat you feel quite challenged as to what you can and can’t do. There was no way I could disturb the BIG guy on my left to move so that I could get my briefcase down and do some work. So my options were: put my head on his nice fat arm and catch some zzzzs or read the latest airline magazine.
I opted for the latter. A recent interview with Baby Boomer, Bruce Willis, caught my attention. I found his response to one question on trust very interesting: ” I trust everyone – until they break that trust”. Now I relate to that! So, Im wondering if trust is a boomer value or not. How do Xers view trust with regards to people – it is such an integral part of relationships. Is it a generational value or a characteristic. The phrase “trust me, I’m a gynaecologist” – I’m sure was coined by a boomer. So, how,where, when and why do you Xers trust? Do you DO a Bruce Willis and Glenda Warrin or not??

I think maybe we’re a little more cynical. As an Xer I don’t trust everything at face value. With so much information out there and plenty of it conflicting I’m usually checking things out for myself before making any judgements.
