What does it take for someone to earn your trust?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 03, 2008:
Nothing. Trust is not earned it is given freely. Trusting is an act of faith. Can faith be earned? Trust that requires bartering is not trust at all, but a trade. Trust, like forgiveness, is given for the gifts we receive. Those with conditions on trust... I invite you to take a look at your conditions. What does this say about you, your relationship to resistance and acceptance? I imagine those who recognize the mirroring quality we are for each other will get this. What we resist in others we deny or do not accept in our selves. We are free to the degree of what we can accept.

Almost agree with you, but if I trust somebody who didn't do anything to earn my trust, whouldn't I be stupid? Wouldn't be easy for bad people to take advantage of me?
How would you answer your own question? What are you afraid of? What are you resisting?
jajajaja!!!! not using my ability to learn from the past!
I agree with Josh; trust is iven out freely, but you can take it back.
What would cause you to react in a way that you would want to “take it back”?
