I Believe In People

I believe in the goodness of people. All people are born wanting to do the right thing, and I trust that people will always default to good rather than evil. There have been times in my life that I have trusted people and they used me and hurt me, but in the end the rewards of trust far out way the pain created by the few who somehow have gone astray.

I believe in the greatness of all people! Every person has a born skill set and other skills are learned and perfected throughout life. At birth we all have to potential to be great, and I have never understood why people sometimes settle for second place when first is just within in reach.

I believe in the love of people. It could be during a Manhattan blackout when millions of people come together to help one another, or two friends exchanging a big bear hug at the end of a camping trip.
Yes! I do believe in people! For the very reason that together we are a collective of unique and amazing individuals with ideological thoughts and beliefs, but the one thing that ties us all together are other people and their differences.
