*Squee*! Thank you so much for reading and commenting! (And also for bringing the godlike icon of beauty!)
The idea of trust is a fascinating one. In a very general sense it involves believing the best in others, and when the humans didn't do this in Resurrection, they nearly destroyed one another. A general faith in the goodness and worthiness of humanity/one another is essential for the survival of: a) Lee as an individual experiencing an existential crisis; b) humanity generally. Love/empathy: yes, these demand a certain amount of trust or faith. Actually that makes me wonder about another difference between Lee and Kara. Kara has been shown to have more 'faith' in the religious sense. Lee appears to have a more secular personal belief system--based on trust and honour and so on.
(Now I'm just thinking aloud... there are so many layers to this show!)
