Because it’s the quiet summer season, I’ve been watching an excessive amount of on Netflix, Prime, Disney and Apple. Sure, I subscribe to all of them. It’s attention-grabbing that the content material is both about love, hate, worry, happiness and different feelings. The one factor that hyperlinks practically all those I watch is cash, as a result of cash is energy.
Whether or not it’s watching tales about historical Rome in These about to die or a household friction in Succession and even The Crown, it’s all about wealth and energy. These are sometimes the bedrocks of what creates love, hate, worry, happiness and different feelings.
The factor is that, in naming these iconic collection, it’s not likely about wealth and cash. It is all about belief. Belief between siblings, household, mates and people are enemies, creates friction, wars and battles.
Making an attempt to not give an excessive amount of away, however when watching a number of of those collection, the pattern gave the impression to be round a lack of belief or, extra importantly, a plan to create subterfuge by being trusted. The plans, counterplans and pure and utter deviousness of a number of characters is on the coronary heart of the collection, and every participant is both making an attempt to achieve belief with one other plan in thoughts, or have been trusted however went off keel.
I name this the belief financial institution.
The belief financial institution is my private accounting of who I can belief and who I can not. Each engagement I’ve with you, your organization, your loved ones, your mates, your circle … both deposits or withdraws from my belief financial institution.
For me, the belief financial institution is extra essential than something. No regulatory oversight, authorities affect or extra can beat the belief financial institution rating. Like a credit score rating, the belief financial institution rating is analogous: can I belief that you’re good for the cash? But it surely goes additional than a credit score rating as it is usually a friendship rating, a sibling rating, a colleague rating.
The belief financial institution works 1:1 but additionally B2B, B2C, E2E, G2C and extra. It’s all about the place, as a enterprise, authorities, employer, pal or sibling: can I belief you. That is core of just about all motion pictures and tales, and is core to society and life. In the event you can not belief, you can’t alternate.
Nonetheless, as demonstrated in most streaming providers collection, it’s all about breaking belief and going behind the financial institution of mates, household and colleagues to construct higher wealth and energy.
This has been true forever, and the largest problem confronted by everybody. Additionally it is why banks need licences as, they declare, a licenced financial institution may be trusted as a result of it has a assure of zero losses as much as a certain quantity ($250,000 within the USA; €100,000 in Europe; and £85,000 within the UK).
Are banks trusted? Do you belief your financial institution greater than your brother, sister, mom or father? Your boss, your organization, your authorities?
It’s an attention-grabbing point of interest and dialogue.
