I'm very naive. I believe anything anyone ever tells me, always, if there's the slightest possible way whatsoever to give them the benefit of the doubt.

But when their actions stand in direct unmistakeable contradiction to their statements and promises, I chase them to the ends of the earth demanding to know why WHY have you lied to me, how could you, how is it possible, and I do not let them go until I have wrung from them a fifty-page-long complete explanation of how their crazy insane evil minds work, because it's so incomprehensible.

It's very easy to lie to me and get away with it for quite a long while, but if you ever get caught you find out it was a really, really, really bad idea.

I think it is ennobling to people to have someone trust them and believe (in) them, even when they do not deserve having such trust placed in them. Of course, there are times when people are so miserable (I'm really not sure if "evil" exists) inside that they will not be ennobled by such faith and confidence, but rather take advantage of you for it, but it has been my experience that often people will become honest only when people have faith in them to be capable of being honest.

We are such naive, anti-cynical idealists. Let's never lose that quality, ok? :)
