Trust No One

Can’t go around avoiding everyone.

How can it be that you trust no one but can't not trust people?

Everyone is only out for themselves, partly because this is how we were raised.

The people we grew up around have experience of trusting and being burned.

Are we following in their footsteps because that's all we know? Why are we so trusting of the people who raised us?

We finally set off and gain our own experience, and guess what?

They were both right and wrong; is that even a possibility?

Yes.

For someone to grow and learn, they need to be able to experience life for themsleves.

How can one go out to experience life when they've been wrapped up in a bubble and sheltered all their life?

It's starts off by having the feeling of missing out on something- first chance the person gets to go and try to live.

Will it be scary? Yes.

When you first break free, all the walls are higher then 'Great Wall of China.'

Having someone who didn't grow up in an environment that is closed off makes a difference.

The combination of the two up bringings allows both sides to grow; One side shows its okay to let your walls down sometimes, the other side teaches you it's okay to also put those walls up.

'Innocent until proven guilty,' only works in the court system.

I say, 'trust only yourself, until proven otherwise,' meaning; don't go out trusting every person you meet nor not trustin anyone,

This allows you too keep an open mind and read people with their actions and what they say.

Humans lie all the time to push their narrative out their but also there are also very beautiful humans as well.

Knowing how to be neutral with people has to be a gift.
