Trust plays a vital role in the lives of human beings as it is the path to establishing and maintaining a good and morally mature society. Whether it's trusting another in team sports, friendship, or simply asking for help and guidance, trust can increase the strength of the bond between any number of people. Even if we rely on our trust for another to achieve a desirable outcome, we are actually putting at risk what we are entrusting to another, and our trust is likely to be exploited and lead to betrayal. Why this is the cause and what actions should be taken to minimize betrayal has been explored by many philosophers such as Plato, Thomas Hobbes and David Hume. Annette Baier (1929-), defined that “Trust can be betrayed, or at least disappointed”. , and not just disappointed” (1986, p. 235). For example, we can rely on our watch to tell the time, but we don't feel betrayed when it breaks, so we can't say we trusted it; we do not trust when we are suspicious of the other person, because this is actually an expression of distrust (McLeod 2006) Since having trust requires that one remains vulnerable towards another, in the sense that the trustor lets the trustor the trustor takes care of a valuable asset, there is a risk that the trustee will not follow up. What prevents the trustee from actually taking the action of betrayal lies in human nature. In his book "The Republic", Plato (427-347 BC) proposes that it is in the nature of man that the fear of being discovered and punished can prevent him from exploiting the use of evil for personal interests [ref], a vision also supported by Hobbes. This is an ideal criterion by which someone should be trusted only if he has that fear. Because the trustee fears the punishment that will be inflicted... middle of paper... that a supreme dictatorship will rule the society, and the nature of the people of the society is really so selfish. According to a lighter view of human nature, in opposition to Hobbes, David Hume (1711-1776) believed that man is motivated by sympathy towards loved ones, friends and partial friends. It is understandable that there is trust that no family member would kill each other because they love each other. But this gentle nature leads man to act coldly towards strangers to protect those he loves. Since people protect their loved ones, it is natural for them to become enemies of their loved ones' enemies. Even so, in A Treatise of Human Nature, Hume encouraged people to sympathize with and love not only all those they already loved, but also others. In this way, war can be prevented without the use of drastic measures as Hobbes suggests of an absolute sovereign.
