Your Trust In Society

[Hellion]

I myself in my own opinion do not and will not trust 90% of people,considering I am not a people person

and the kind that likes everyone they see.(this is my own opinion,No one has to agree)

Considering most humans are nothing but earth trash,IMO.

Examples Goerge Bush,Dick Cheney,Oil CEO's and Shareholder's,cops

Catholic Priests,Psychiatrists,by the way this is not a rant.

Share your opinions on your view of people in this day and age

in a respectable way.

[Fierce Critter]

Zilch. Zero. Zed. Nada. Nix. Nyet. No-ho-ho wuh-ay-ay-ay.

Trust not, lest ye be trusted.

[Zenji]

I trust everyone 100% to be exactly how they're supposed to be. I don't care if I like yo or not, you're gonna do what you're gonna do so there's no point in wasting my time being suspicious of you.

I like to take things as they come, not discriminantly chose to despise everyone I don't know just because I don't know them.

I'm a firm believer that only that which applies to me actually applies to me. If someone has done something to offend me, I react as any natural creature would. But in retrospect I must also appreciate the fact that folks do what they do regardless of whether or not I'm cool with it. The only things I reject are only the things I'm supposed to reject.

as far as trust goes... you can always trust people 100% to be people. Individual trust is quite another thing but stems strongly on the main. Trust is something we have to use to define specific behaviour, not people or society in general.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

Oh my God Zenji... you took that right out of my mind.

That I agree with Gaf on.... wisdom

[AntiHero]

I agree with Metallion, don't trust about 90% of people.

I exercise discretion, and that's after I've known you a while. I'm not heartless, I'll help a stranger (not financially) in need.

If that makes any sense.

What does humanity and helpfulness have to do with trust?

[Homicidalheathen]

Christmas brings out the worst in people. Yesturday was terrible. I can't believe how rude and stupid people are.

So No, I don't trust most. And they vote. Its scary.

I agree.

I think it is more or less that people, nearly all of us, act in a way that is "best for me" and not best for the whole on a regular basis. We're loosing our appreciation for the little things and slowly depleting our social skills through lack of interaction. I tend to follow an older set of rules for my social etiquitte because I find it to be best overall and is generally the way I would like to be treated. Over the last few years, I've found that deviating from this social etiquitte has not resulted in a positive light.

Know what you do to change things? Be more polite, let a driver pass you, don't let yourself get upset when you get cut off, if you're not in a hurry let someone cut in a grocery line who has only a few items, make sure you introduce new people to the group you are socializing with- they shouldn't have to introduce themselves, help an older person carry groceries to the car, visit your grandparents more often, respect the fact that everyone is different and that you can learn from these differences, do something nice for a friend/spouce- write a poem, pick a few wildflowers, cut a funny comic out of the paper.... There are millions of ways we can create a domino effect of a better society and if someone asks you why you're being nice tell them that if everyone did nice things for each other and was less concerned with self the world would be a much nicer place, you're just doing your part.

QUIT COMPLAINING ABOUT WHAT EVERYONE ELSE DOES WRONG AND WORK ON YOURSELF FIRST.

It's just like that quote on the board in Trixie's. "If you want a better world, you're going to have to be a better person."

Yeah, I know he edited it, but it was better before.
