Trustworthy?

Recent involvements has me looking up the definition to Trustworthy.

?tr?s(t)?w?rT?H?/

adjective

 

  1. able to be relied on as honest or truthful.

    “leave a spare key with a trustworthy neighbor”

    synonyms:
    reliable, dependable, honest, honorable, upright, principled, true, truthful, as good as one’s word, ethical, virtuous, incorruptible, unimpeachable, above suspicion;

    responsible, sensible,levelheaded;

    loyal, faithful, staunch, steadfast, trusty;

    safe, sound, reputable, discreet;

    informalon the level, straight-up

    “a trustworthy citizen”

 

For some odd reason I can not find a person or multiple persons as trustworthy when they deliberately and blatantly do things to cheat others for their own gain.  I must assume that to be a lawyer, one must be much less responsible, honorable (although that was once a portion of their title), less principled and very good at bending the truth to a point of “almost touching” on a lie.  Is this why we have so many lawyers that move on to politics?  Are they all one in the same?

How can I not feel cheated when I was promised multiple times of commitment, intent, and promises of repayment of debts.  Yet in the end nothing was ever returned.
