If you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them too. Even when you’re in the dark, even when you’re falling.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
Wanting other people to trust you comes with a demand to trust them in return. Darkness and falling make that demand feel risky, not comfortable. The passage suggests that mutual trust matters most when you can't see what comes next or keep control by yourself.
