Trust is possibly the same, to understand how trust 'feels', perhaps one has to know the antithesis to it, but i don't believe one can experience mistrust whilst experiencing trust with any given person, that's a complete oxymoron.

For you an oxymoron (=something particularly stupid). For me a profound truth, as in paradox. But you are outing the Jungian in me. He thought that the psyche needs balance for health - that it was always seeking it. Which meant that whatever the conscious attitude, the opposite is always constellated in the unconscious. So long as we know this, we will not fall into the trap of one-sidedness. Nor will we be caught out in what seems like hypocrisy, or madness.

Winnicott believed that Jung was a deeply split personality, hence his preoccupation with all this. Possibly. If so, long live Jung's split, say I, because it brought him to a great truth.

"Come down from the pulpit," the crowd roars. "Who are you to start preaching at us?"
