My husband would say " Life is easy for the observant" and "if you only go looking for bad, you will always find it". Human beings are flawed. We are not perfect and therefore we all have mistakes in our past and in our present. But being imperfect does not necessarily make us bad people. It makes us human. If you have been burned once too many times then it is only natural to have a healthy dose of paranoia and be more wary and cautious of the motives and intentions of others, but we must balance this sense of mistrust, or we may never allow the true goodness within others to shine through their human flaws.
