I've always, (in the past) assumed that people were basically good.
I've always, (in the past) presumed that if I treated people well
they would
respond in kind.
I've been wrong about this assumption,
time after time,
And yet I go on like Pollyanna,
treating others well,
and getting "slimed".
It was once fun to make assumptions
on people at first meeting,
but when the assumption made was wrong,
the relationship was quite fleeting.
I've learned lessons throughout this life
that would stand me in good stead.
If I was to be reincarnated (and remember)
After I was dead.
Some aphorisms are quite true,
such as the one about the "under dog",
And nice guys DO finish last,
and I've met "Bumps on a log".
But "winner" or "loser" is a state of mind
that can't be judged by humankind,
but only self can judge the self,
and find it willing or wanting.

If everyone were more truthful in regards to what they are then there would not be a problem. Sadley some people make out they are something other than what they really are, this causes problems in the future when the signs start to appear.
Being naive is a wonderful thing, if you don't get hurt. Being trusting is a wonderful thing, if you don't get taken advantage of. But it is better to be that way than cynical, better to enjoy people than to stay away from them, better to give and care, than to be selfish and stingy. Maybe virtue IS its' own reward. I would rather know someone like you.....
