"Animal Farm’s new management were just pigs standing on their hind legs, lording it over the other animals. In another cautionary tale, the emperor was a fool, walking naked through the streets.

They rightfully lose our trust when they do not trust us with the truth, or to manage our own risk or our own emotional lives. Trust is built by telling the truth, over time, and by nature it is reciprocal."
