Everybody wants something and people proved that most of them are ready to do almost everything to get that if they can and that idea scares me because that includes manipulation, lies, using, hurting someone else.
For me, the rule of life is simple, if I am not willing to give something then I should also not ask for something more. Trusting in people is like putting your money on a stock market investment you will never know how much you'll gain from it or how much you'll lose from it but if I decided not to invest anything then I should also not expect to get anything.
Of course. Having trust issues doesn't mean someone should just hide from the risk. "It is impossible to live without failing. Unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all - in which case, you fail by default."
