Your comment on my video prompted me to come back to your channel and watch some vids. I recognized the username instantly. It's owned by a very thoughtful individual who is very inspirational and well worth listening to. Have you stopped making videos?

@CompleteRationality I still post videos but my output is sporadic, and has to do with personal time and whether or not I feel strongly enough that I have something worth being heard. Thank you for the very kind words.

@FederalistFilms Thanks. I've enjoyed your output, I hope you enjoy mine. Thanks for the sub.

"if you're just willing to be a little bit vulnerable" - I like that alot. You stop fearing when you become familiar with what (or who) you fear. I wouldn't necessarily call myself the trusting sort, but I generally assume the best in people unless I've amassed enough evidence to judge otherwise. I don't think I've ever received hostility in response to genuine kindness before. Digging the new look btw :-)

I'd say that not only is there a lot to gain from building trust, there's a lot to lose if we fail to do so - especially in this era of fertilizer-bombs and anonymous murderers who burst spectacularly onto the front pages.

Without trust, it's everybody against everybody else. When there is an atmosphere of goodwill, it's everybody against the extremists on all sides.
