Trustworthiness
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trustworthiness is a moral value considered to be a Virtue. (Virtue: A a character trait valued as being good.) A trustworthy person is someone in whom we can place our trust and rest assured that the trust will not be betrayed.
A person can prove his trustworthiness by fulfilling an assigned responsibility - and as an extension of that, to not let down our expectations. The responsibility can be either material, such as delivering a mail package on time, or it can be a non-material such as keeping an important secret to himself.
In order for one to trust another, their worth and integrity must be constantly proven over time.
