Quote by John Wooden
There's as much crookedness as you want to find. There was something Abraham Lincoln said - he'd rather trust and be disappointed than distrust and be miserable all the time. Maybe I trusted too much.
Summary
This quote expresses the idea that there is always a certain level of dishonesty or corruption in the world, but it is up to individuals to choose whether to trust others or remain skeptical. The reference to Abraham Lincoln suggests that it is better to have faith in others, even if it leads to disappointment, rather than living a pessimistic and lonely life constantly distrusting everyone. The author reflects on possibly having placed too much trust in others, implying that doing so may have vulnerable and negative consequences.
