Trust, but verify [Ronald Reagan]

Some people are so innocently naive. Do not trust others sewenang2nye. Kan dari kecik2 ibu dah pesan, jgn ckp dgn strangers. This is not to teach your children to be ditrustful of others, tapi for their protection. Kenaifan kanak2 bole dimaafkan. Tapi adult?! Jgn mudah percaya org. Ppl u meet on the Internet for e.g, bukan sume bole percaya. Tak semestinye betul2 baik. Apa diorg ckp, tak semestinye betul. Keje hebatlah. Gaji besarla. Muke comeyla. Rumah mewahla. Ada yg tgh baca ni, mesti ade yg pikir, "Hey, hello?! apa pompuan ni ckp, like we don't already know!!??!" Yes peeps, some ppl don't know. Some are just so naive. Jgn teros percaya!!! I don't get it kenapa org bole easily be trustful of others. It's not that I am the one who is just so paranoid or cynical, it's just that even as a child, saya telah belajar utk cube kenal isi kulit seseorg. I was [and still am] very doubtful kalau rase mcm apa yg org tu ckp tu tak lojik. I used to have this fren, S, yg sgt suke exaggerate cerite. Most other girls believed her. But not me. Rase jahat juga diri ni. Tapi mmg tak percayala die. I could tell. And my instinct was right. Sure, I 1st dated my bf online, but we were introduced to by a real good fren of mine yg bole dipercayai, Dod. Tapi itupun still saye sgt berhati2. Girls, jgn mudah percaya org. I remember reading a rape case, where the rapist's defence was that the girl consent to it, sbb she followed him to his hotel room, on their very 1st date. On her side of the story, she said that he tricked her by telling her yg die nak kasi gift, which is in his hotel room. And yes, she believed him, followed him there, and was raped. I pity her. I emphatied her. She was not stupid, as some contended. She was too naive for her own good. Percaya itu perlu. Tapi sikap yg cynical, doubtful, berhati2, are sometimes necessary. Dari garam sedikit yg telah saya makan dalam hidup ni, I have learned there is no such thing as being 'too careful'. Always, always, be cautious.
