Perhaps the saddest day in my life was when I
learned that not everyone could be trusted... yet
I do hold within me that not everyone is out to
scam you.
Even after reading Hello Kitty's explanation post
I am uncertain. Yet it is simply my being
cautious. It's hard to be an honest person in
such a dishonest world. Imagine if you had the
same type of thing happening, when you really
wanted to do a cool thing for others that would
also benefit a friend, but no one believed you?
So who knows, Hello Kitty and friend could be
real people just trying to pay for the jewelry...
or it could be someone out to get $5 out of 20
people. Somehow the latter doesn't seem worth
it. Were I one of the first people to post I
would go with trust. If I got screwed over, then
lesson learned, and I will avoid that person in
the future. But I don't see anything on YJ that
I'm dying for, and I still haven't used a deputy
service for anything... though I've tried ^^;
(haven't won anything yet >.<*)
Common sense doesn't dictate that everyone should
distrust everyone. Common sense means going into
any situation cautiously. At least, that's what
it means to me.
I was 7 when I learned to distrust... and I still
cringe when I think of how the lesson was
learned. For people like me I would rather
believe in the good in people, especially people
in such a tight-knit group as cel collectors.
True, this approach to life can bite you now and
then, but there is something far more satisfying
about knowing whether or not you made the right
decision... especially when you are right more
than 95% of the time ^_^
Best Wishes,
Jenny
