TWOFOLD TRUST

Abstract
At the heart of trust is the concept of relationship. The author, considering the complexity of this category, adopts a symbolic, and therefore synthetic, representation of trust by analyzing, in that “great code” of Western civilization that is the Bible, a passage placed in bere'shît, or “in the beginning”, in the first Jewish sacred book, Genesis. In it a threefold relationship is drawn: vertical between man and God, horizontal between man and woman, and between man and all living beings. This trusting architecture can be destroyed by human freedom and sin, but it can also be nurtured and enriched through the love received and given, which contains all the human forms of tenderness, trusting abandonment and recognition in communion.
