Who Do We Trust?

Have we lived in such a cynical age that we completely distrust each other? When Ulama (or religious authorities) give you fatwa, how many of us actually manage to listen, comprehend, question, or again....be cynical about the message? how about following the message without questions?

So how about putting our trust in news.......messages of lies constantly being choked into our minds. It is difficult enough to even find out who we can trust

On another thought, this could be just my personal feeling on my observation to the world itself. Perhaps I am being cynical. The problem is, almost for every arguments, there are counter arguments, both with, often times, very strong reasonings. Which ones do you pick that you think is right;
-ones that is most convenient to you?
-do more exhaustive research and try to get the answer yourself?
-put your trust in one person and go with it.
-be cynical and end up not doing anything, not believing in whatever people says.

As you can see, things can be quite mindboggling if we have to get answers for everything that we have question for. God knows we have our works that occupies at least 8 hours in our life :).

I would tend to think that what we should do is to just focus on the most fundamental priority that each of us have in this life. List them out and make sure we do the right thing based on the research (if you trust your sources that is). I would say things that fall out of our priorities should become "noise", somethings that we can either listen to or not.
