Can Trustworthiness Come Into Conflict With Other Important Values?

Our concern for trustworthiness can push us in different directions than an impulse that we might also have to generosity or spontaneity. We don't like to say no to people when they're asking us to do things, especially things that might be fine in their own right. But trustworthiness directs us to turn down new commitments when we're not going to be able to reliably fulfil them.
