    Is it better to think the best of people and be betrayed occasionally, or think the worst of them and be pleasantly surprised occasionally?

        @vgr Former. Less stress, more possibility inducing. Not sure if it is more of a basic attitude that can be changed easily or quickly

        @vgr the best because the bonds of trust you form are a positive force in a social life. Trust is a learned skill. Distrust isolates.
