Trust but verify

Those are the wisest words I have read in quite awhile. It is all well and good to trust your loved ones. But, when you hear something that doesn't seem to ring quite true or when two people you thought you could trust are telling a different story then you need to make sure you verify it with facts. You know, like the kind you go and get yourself. Not the kind you are spoon fed by one side or the other. So while I trust my husband if he came home after being missing for two days and told me he was "working late" the whole time you'd better believe I'd be seeing some hard evidence before taking his word on it. A whole lotta trouble in this world could be avoided if those words were heeded....
