It is an equal failing to trust everybody, and to trust nobo

Summary

This quote suggests that both extreme forms of trust can be problematic. If we trust everybody without any discernment, we run the risk of being taken advantage of or deceived. Conversely, if we trust nobody and constantly doubt others' intentions, we may form barriers in our relationships and miss out on valuable connections. Striking a balance is crucial, as having some level of trust while still employing a healthy dose of caution allows us to navigate relationships and society with greater prudence and discernment.
