Thanks for the little explanation. I’ve read it about 15 times and I’m just not getting it T_T

Answer #7

I think that is partly true. But I think there’s also good in some people’s nature, people who seek out and readily believe in the good in others. Honestly, when I see such quotes I think it is more a reflection of the speaker’s reality than of an objective reality. Which is kinda sad.
