Trust is always a tricky one.
It's probably not reasonable to expect that anyone can be fully trusted in any possible circumstances. Everyone has their limits. Even the most moral and strong willed person can reach the end of their endurance sometimes.
I'm not sure I can trust myself in all situations, so it would be a bit unfair to expect other people to be more reliable.
The best we can really hope for is that people do their best most of the time and, critically, that they are prepared to acknowledge when they've failed to live up to their principles. It's important to admit when one has failed, rather than trying to justify the failure or, worse, claim that a betrayal of trust was somehow deserved by the other party.
