Jointly negotiating trust is more mature than passive emotional reliance

Evidence

As against this, anyone who does not merely let himself be caught up and hemmed in by trust emotionally, but takes part in arranging the relationship of trust and what its subjects and its limitations are, is likely to recognize sooner the advantages of a joint reduction of complexity. — Niklas Luhmann, Trust and Power, 246
