( there are certainly good people out there, he's learned to accept that as fact. everyone having goodness, though, he refuses to believe that because he's seen the proof of its fallacy. )
it's not wrong to hope for the best, but you ought to be careful. not everyone deserves that faith.
[ He's been warned about this sort of thing before. Many times, by many people. ]
BUT EVERYONE HAS REASONS FOR WHY THEY DO THINGS. THAT'S WHY THE TRYING PART IS IMPORTANT!
SOMETIMES PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THEY'VE LOST EVERYTHING, AND IF EVERYONE ALSO GIVES UP ON THEM, THEN THEY ALSO FEEL LIKE THEY SHOULDN'T BOTHER TRYING. SO THAT'S WHY I WON'T STOP HAVING FAITH. SOMETIMES IT JUST TAKES ONE PERSON TO BELIEVE IN THEM.

( not heartbreak, not unhappiness, not loneliness. it's a lesson he learned too late in life, and it ended up with him losing his heart and being the instrument of hurting people. he doesn't think he gets an excuse for it, either. )
just be careful. faith is a good thing. some people just don't deserve it.
I wish you were right. the world would a better place if it were. but some people hurt because they like to. and no amount of believing in them will ever make them stop. as long as you are careful, that is all that I can ask.
