Seek and ye shall find Ask and ye shall receive Perhaps you should ask a different question. If you want to know why the world is pessimistic then you shall find out. If you want to make the world a better place then why not ask "how can I make the world a better place?"

Could it be because No is a word in more languages than Yes ?

IMO the point is: do we default to a yes, or to a no? do we default to trust, or to distrust? do we default to protect, or to destroy?

Though thinking you'll get away with it might be considered optimistic. Do we trust blindingly where it does not belong? Do we distrust blindingly where it does not belong? Neither are good, and both pessimistic if you stop to think about it (blind trust being an instrument of abuse). So more to the point, should we not look at everything with eyes open?

I guess every once-was-an-optimist agrees that systems built on trust are simpler, more effective and have an inherent beauty, but are easily destroyed by distrust. But is this a reason to make distrust the default?

I would suggest that either complete trust or complete distrust by default is bad news. Let's subtract human behavior for a moment. Does one trust a cougar or a rattlesnake by default? Does one trust the weather will not change and leave you dying in the wilderness or desert? Does one drive up a volcano with your family because you trust nature will not do anything, or that someone will always prevent you from doing anything dangerous? I suggest that a default to always trust, or distrust are both equally dangerous. That having an open mind, but being mindful of the consequences is the preferred. Lack of blind trust should not prevent you from being kind to people and allowing them "some" access to your life. However both trust and distrust should be earned. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh.

I like this line of thought, but people don't like where it takes me. 1. What decides that we should be careful with a rattlesnake, but not with a rabit? Instinct. 2. "Development of our species" is accelerated through using a brain rather than genes to transmit information to successors 3. Our education is more culture-based than experience-based 4. All this political correctness crap undermines this. 5. What was once instinct now called Prejudice. ==> more prejudice, more trust. :cool: I'm neither entirely serious, nor entirely joking. I am <>entertaining this thought one might say. And IMO our society is moving more and more to distrust-based structures. Back to the original thought: Where instinct gives us neither "red alert" nor "hug now" signals, we tend to opt for distrust, to minimize damage, rather than trust to maximize cumulative results.

Then you shall die of black plague rather than swollen muscles and skin when you visit here because the rabbit is one of the largest carrier of Bubonic plague in the region. (and if you think I am just being pessimistic http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/plague/world98.htm[^] we actually have 10 times the number of people hospitalized from touching rabbits than being bit by rattlesnakes) Instinct can fail you. Instinct does not say the rabbit is good, it says the rabbit is food. Weighed against the possibility of starvation, you roll the dice and take your chances with "food" since starvation is a known problem. The problem is often that we do not like to think about things. We want an instinctual reaction rather than having to learn and consider our own limitations. We think life is "easier" that way. That is where the problem lies IMO. We don't want to continually think about others behavior in respect to ourselves and our safty in respect to that, therefore since complete trust and instinct can get us in trouble we take the easiest way possible to trust no one and nothing. Personal Isolationism being the ultimate safe course (or so we believe). _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.
