>>> My experience in life is that most people try to do the right thing.

They sure do. Serbs busy ethnic-cleansing the shit out of some Croats are trying to build a better world for their children. Taliban selling Yadzidi children in slave auctions to be raped to death are doing the right thing to create a globe free of evil infidels. Liberal social workers in early 20th century NYC convincing women of color to get themselves sterilized because they're genetically inferior are positive they're doing the right thing for everyone, just like they do today when they tell you that you're inherently racist by birth and need to spend the rest of your life groveling for it (to no ultimate redemption).

Everybody's trying to do the right thing. No one's the villain of their own story. I'm glad trusting everyone to have your best interests at heart has worked well for you up to now. It has not been true for literally anyone I've ever known.
