To trust a stranger without investigation invites troubles
so endless that even descendants must endure them.
Without investigation, trust no one. Having investigated,
entrust a man with matters for which he is trustworthy.
To trust a man who has not been tested and to suspect a man
who has proven trustworthy lead alike to endless ills.
-Tirukkural 51: 508-510
Life lessons I'm still learning. I typed 'earning' at first. Maybe it wasn't a typo. I used to trust until given a reason not to, it was how I wanted to be treated. I'm finding you can't always treat people the way you want to be treated. Some times they don't even want to be treated in that way. Life's so fucking weird sometimes.
Intentions, you can go in with the best of them... and barely get out alive.
