Recently, I came to realize I've been too trusting a person, and thought I'll be less trusting, by raising my emotional and mental shields. Yet, in less than 5 months, my shields came down again.
I was @ Holland Village on Sunday, intending to go to Gyu Kaku for dinner. I reached there around 5pm, but it didn't open till 5:30pm. So, I loitered around the place, and I was approached by a self-claimed ex-convict. He asked me, "Sir, do you believe in giving ex-convicts a second chance?", and said he's selling candles for $10, of which he'll earn 50% commission.
I paid him $20 for a candle that he wanted to sell for $10.
I've always wondered why I am so trusting a person, even after all the trust fiascos I've had in my life.
