Common Decency

It's surprising how much I can hear about people and still not lose my faith.

Despite everything I have been told and everything I know, I still assume people are decent when I meet them. It takes significant evidence to prove to me that someone is not a kind person... I'm way too trusting and I don't understand why. My trust has been betrayed again and again, yet somehow I still assume that people have other best interests at heart.

What will it take? I know people who have been abused, I know people who have been raped. What will it take to make me stop blindly trusting the people I meet?

Will it get me in big trouble at some point in my life?
