Writing about how in order to rebuild trust in a relationship where trust has been broken, you have to extend your belief in the other person’s trustworthiness a little past what the evidence warrants – in this case, the experience of past betrayal – in order to invite the other person to provide you with evidence that they’re trustworthy.

Officially it’s about William James’s “The Will to Believe,” but now I’m (internally) crying about Thor and Loki.
