Yes, I'm the incorrigible optimist, always believing in the good of people. I'm not an optimist, I'm a realist. One should assume that others are good until they prove otherwise. Then all bets are off. I don't want to imagine what will happen if I lose this attitude one fine day. The world will be poorer if you do. And yes, if there are 9 guys from 10 who are disappointing, I see the one guy who was worth it. Maybe it's because I also have had a hard time when I was young? Or maybe it's because you're more perceptive than most? Many people have a hard youth, yet turn out to be as bad as those who oppressed them. Be glad that you rose above that. I appologize if my naivety might offend anyone here, Neither naive nor offensive. |
