Trust, believe, and love anyway

It is better to trust someone and have them violate that trust than it is to live in a world without trust.
It is better to love someone and have your heart broken than it is to have never experienced love.
It is better to believe in someone and have them disappoint you than it is to live in a world without belief.
To trust, to love, and to believe is opening oneself to being vulnerable.
There will be times when you are burned by doing so.
Trust, believe, and love, anyway.
Overall, the world is a much better place when you do.
