Why do we feel that we can implicitly trust people? Why the urge for some people to be totally paranoid about something and for others to be naively trusting?
I am thinking it is because essentially we are all children at heart. Such an outlook is understood when you look at a kid taking the first steps and learning to walk and if you see a baby/child trying to come to terms with water when exposed to a swimming pool for the first time.
The first contact of water and the first steps into the unknown are all tinged with joy and glee, yet the fear and the ignorance of the unknown is still there, hidden behind the twinkling eyes and the wide smiles(grins).
As you grow up you gather further knowledge and smile and laugh as you try and take on the further reaches of the unknown from you. But it is the childhood innocence which is always there when we are presented with the doubtful and the uncertain. .....
