The two most important emotions affecting human psychology are trust and doubt. Because trust in other people, living things or things makes people emotionally strong and happy. However, we cannot see the same emotional satisfaction for a person who has a problem of trust and doubts towards other people, living things or things. As a result, it is not possible for a person who is emotionally weak to be happy. Just as the happiness of a person depends on the dominance of the feeling of trust, the peace and happiness of the societies depends on the dominance of the feeling of trust.
There are different layers in which the feeling of trust can prevail in a social structure. First of all, every individual has to trust other people in an individual sense. In addition, trust of people with different identities towards each other is indispensable for communities that share the same social structure. Again, on the basis of states, countries need to trust each other so that people living in every society and community can feel safe.
The basic emotion that enables the relations between people to run well is trust. Unless this trust is ensured both in terms of public order, in business and commercial life, as well as in kinship and neighborly relations, people cannot maintain the rhythm of life. Because in this environment, people will always feel threatened. The suspicion that his life and property will be tried at any moment, that he will be displaced in business life, that he will be cheated in trade, that he will be harmed by his relatives or neighbors makes human life unbearable. From this point of view, we can state that the motivation that determines the quality of life of a person is the trust given to and towards other people.
It is important for different identities within the social structure to feel safe with each other. The basic condition of social harmony is the establishment of this trust. We can find the possibility of living together in a sense of trust. It is possible for people of different religions, sects, ethnic origins, ideologies or worldviews to live together in harmony in the same geography. Communities approaching each other fairly and with understanding will increase mutual trust. The first practice that Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) did after the migration was to provide this sense of trust between the Muslims with the Muhajir-Ansar brotherhood, and between the different identities in the Medina society with the Medina Convention.
When we evaluate it from a wider perspective, the feeling of trust between states is essential for the peace and welfare of societies. We can see how the wars in our region cause anxiety in societies. It can affect not only the parties to the war, but also all over the world, especially the countries in the region. That's why we need a new vision of the world that aims at peace. The biggest capital of the dream of a new world where there is peace not war, cooperation instead of exploitation, is trust. This wave of trust, which started with regional cooperation, should expand and lead to a global goal so that peace and happiness can spread throughout the world.
As long as a person is suspicious of other people, a community to other communities, a state to other states, hostilities will grow within him. In order for peace and tranquility to prevail, these hostilities must be eliminated, and the only way to achieve this is through the establishment of mutual trust.
