Tillid

adj.
humbled by how readily you place your life into the hands of random strangers, often without a second thought—trusting a restaurant to check its expiration dates, trusting a construction crew not to cheap out on materials, trusting thousands of other drivers to stay in their lane —people who you may never meet but whose well-being you’re deeply invested in, whether you know it or not.

Danish tillid, trust. Pronounced “til-id.”

Beloiter

a person sitting at a slot machine
