Is trust given blindly wise? Is writing bylaws based on trust antithetical to the need for bylaws in the first place? To base bylaws on trust is to say that anyone who purchases a unit in cohousing, or any bank that forecloses on one, is trustworthy. This would seem to define all human behavior as trustworthy. I recently had a conversation with a child psychologist about a parent in our community who always believes what his children tell him. He believes this teaches them to be honest because if they aren't their actions will be found out and they will be embarrassed or punished -- by someone else. His role is to trust his children. The psychologist said he is teaching them to lie. The little transgressions become big ones. They learn how to get away with things, not to become trustworthy. Shouldn't trust be earned based on experience? And built up over time? And have contextual limits?
