"It is better to be fooled than to be suspicious"

Truth.
But sometimes I just want to feel untouched by the bullshit. Having expectations blows sometimes.
Another let down, another test on my depleted reserve of mercy & patience, another unnecessary instance of feeling tried and tricked.
I don't want to re-evaluate my approach. But dammit....

How long should you stay giving people the benefit of doubt? It's always been my policy, and I'm still certain it is the right one. But when is assuming the worst not only protecting your feelings, but also just an exercise in logic? What has been will continue to be? You can't place your demands on someone who doesn't care and doesn't get it. I want positivity all the time. But it's becoming detrimental to me when I apply it in situations where it does not belong.
Fuck you if you fool people. You disillusion me when I'm supposed to be spreading fairy dust around here. And that's why you make the world suck for everybody.
