Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager16 Loka

Don’t Trust People? You May Be the Problem. | Happiness Hour

Should you trust people even though human nature is not always good? Dennis Prager explores the difficult balance between having a sober view of human nature and remaining open to the people around you. Dennis argues that believing everyone is basically good can leave you naive and vulnerable to disappointment, but becoming so guarded that you trust no one can leave you isolated and unhappy.

Dennis takes calls from listeners who share their experiences with trust, including a law enforcement officer who describes the importance of being friendly and courteous while remaining prepared for danger. Dennis also discusses why expectations can lead to resentment, why attractive women may be hesitant to be friendly to strangers, and how our surroundings can influence how much we trust the people around us.

Dennis ultimately argues that happiness requires a willingness to take some risks with other people. You may occasionally be rejected or hurt, but living behind a constant shield can prevent you from forming friendships and experiencing the everyday human connections that make life richer. The challenge is to remain wise about human nature without becoming cynical about humanity.
