Trust
It is the most useful currency I know.
It allows me to do so much each day at work;
without any coercion or use of brute force,
I rely on it,
draw from it,
and always with the hope
that trust placed with me
will be found well placed.
I am trusted
not to intentionally be a cause
of pain and fear.
I trust in return.
that behavior in a child,
that I experience as hurtful
is not caused by intent
or that it is part of a power play plot
to find and exploit my weaknesses.
And when I trust enough
not to bring these biases towards inferring nature or intent,
I cannot intentionally cause pain and fear
by using physical punishment
and threats,
as both become counter productive.
And so far
my trust has been very well placed
