Damn fren.
It's just logical.
the sort of logic that's fundamentally irrational.
How? Anyone you know could betray you at any moment for various reasons. Simply because it's unlikely doesn't mean it's impossible.
and your heart could fail at any moment randomly. doesnt make it rational to design your whole life around it. Yes people can betray your trust, but again and again and again it's been shown that people dont betray eachother far far more often than they do. Also, if you're big on Logic™️, lying only works if the vast majority of communication is truthful.
I mean you are making sense. I still don't see the issue with keeping a little bit in reserve for those potentialities.
sure, im not saying blindly trust people in all situations. but distrust should be exceptional, not normal.
I have a base amount of trust/distrust I assign to everyone. Some people go up in trust and some people go down, but nobody is completely trustworthy. Even my parents have lied to me and hurt me in the past. I love them and trust them more than most people but I still know they are absolutely capable of betraying me.
