Ch'i

I only trust one person implicitly. In my experience most people are without vitrue, and the worst are those who pretend they are.

Edit: I'm not pessimistic, far from it in fact. I simply hold trust to be something very valuable, and exceedingly rare. There are too many people who cannot restrain themselves from the temptations of exploitation for personal gain. And though trust is rare, vanity and greed are in abundance.

That's my two ¢ for the day.
