How difficult or easy it is to trust someone? I don't know...i can't say, i can simply give a consultants' answer - "It Depends!"....Ask the same thing to a Mumbai local train commuter, and he might be in a better position to tell us...
I clearly remember seeing people who run after completely packed trains...some are successful in boarding it and twice the number are successful in loosing their lives in performing the marathon act...
Imagine, a person running after a train, that is about to cross the platform, running as fast as he can, suddenly raises his arms and people in the train reach out to grab him, with his feet dangling outside the compartment, half hanging outside, his foot somehow manage to find a spot for his frail body...what do you think, just happened? Hanging in the middle of no where, this man literally gave his life in hands of complete strangers...he trusted them without knowing them...It was not a miracle, it happens day in and day out...this is not unusual, its a commuter's routine...
Ask me the same question again - How long would it take you to trust someone? Answer would be same again - it depends!

I would trust someone within 10 minutes of conversation generally. I somehow have a knack of recognizing people and it generally works well with me!
But, I couldn't imagine trusting a stranger with my life- I wonder how come this thought never crossed people who catch random people's hands to get into the train..
With respect to trust I came across this interesting words which I read somewhere, which says 'Trust a person till proven untrustworthy or don't trust a person till proven trustworthy'. If one observes life through the above sentences.... one would find that general there are two cases,
case 1. wherein one trusts people till proven untrustworthy:- in such cases one has lots of friends, but not many are true friends
case 2. wherein one doesn't trust people till proven trustworthy, one has very few friends but most are true.
Both has its pros and cons
