      You seem to spend a lot of energy questioning people’s intentions, inventing reasons to question whether people’s intentions toward you are genuine. Some do deserve to be questioned, no doubt. It just seems draining, and for what goal?

      Do you aim to be the sole determiner of truth? To never be duped again? To sharpen your skills as an investigator?

      How much more creative energy could you put into the world by taking people at their word in all but the highest risk cases?
