Ouch. Hard to hit the ‘like’ button on this one, DK. Isn’t it sad?…. I grew up in a small Midwestern town where trust was the currency of the land. Statistics like these trouble me deeply…

a sad statement all around, but i understand the truth behind it. as for me, i tend to have an ‘i trust until you show me otherwise’ approach to life, and it has gotten me into trouble at times, but i still choose to err on the side of human nature being innately good in most cases.

True. I find that most people are getting rid of friends more often than they are making them. Disappointment, due to lack of trust.

Trust, authenticity, so rare. When you find it, it is a bright light.
