In this clip from the episode called 'The Tide', Master Kan is echoing the words of the ancient Taoist sage Lao Tzu. "Those who do not trust also can not be trusted." It may seem natural to become untrusting after an act of deceit. However, this only serves to limit our experiences of life. Although trusting will sometimes end in despair; this pales into insignificance when compared to the rewards that can only be known through trusting another.

Imagine you are squeezing some toothpaste out of a tube but you have forgotten to take the cap off. What happens? Deb actually did this in one of her most unaware moments (they do happen!), and the toothpaste soon found another way out -- through the bottom of the tube and onto her clothes. Now imagine that the tube of toothpaste is you, under pressure and beginning to experience psychological or emotional distress. But you do not take your cap off, as it were, by recognizing what is happening and making time to relax and deal with your inner concerns. Instead, you just keep squeezing yourself to do more. So what happens to the mental or emotional pressure building up inside you? Eventually it has to find a way out, and if it cannot come out through the top -- by being acknowledged, expressed, and resolved -- it will find another way of making itself known.
