How can I trust?

I don't know.  I think they do things that I think are wrong.  I of course don't know, but I cannot be sure.

I feel I catch glimses, and have just realised that all I'm seeing is the sparkle in the facets - glimpses of the outside.  Like a geek, I have attemped to build a rational coherent model from available data and what I considered sensible behaviour as use to predict future behaviour.

However, that second premise, that people behave sensibly by my standards, is seemingly wrong, meaning the model is worthless.

I am too trusting.  Sorry people, but shannon has to go and be cynical of people.  I am cynical of you, dear reader, whoever you are. 

I suppose I was warned.  I was, I was trying to implement a scheme to sort myself, and prepare for some kind of event.  I suppose I was blindsided.

Ironically, I am now sceptical of the warner too.  Thinking perhaps that warning is just as true of you.  Hope, perhaps, that I am wrong, lives on, but it has an uphill battle.  It only exists in the small crevice between what I know is impossible and what I know is fact.
