What value do you refuse to compromise?

In spite of finding out after the fact, that not all people will deal honestly with you, I simply
refuse to become cynical and label everyone as someone most likely to to be lying to you or
aiming to treat you badly. It is not so much a matter of trust as it is one of looking at people and taking charge of my own thoughts about them because I know that people will live up to our expectations of them, simply because we have expectations.  We have to imagine the best of others in order to help them to become what they can become and if they don't, maybe the fault lies within ourselves for not holding a good vision of them....We heal others with our thoughts OR we join in with the nay sayers and the gossiping about bad things which only causes those kind of things to continue.  So watching my thoughts about others is my challenge and I refuse to compromise with the belief that you call a spade a spade.
