Should you ever trust anyone completely?  

trust does complicate things too much but i think you will be missing on lot of things if you dont trust people .... relation exists on trust an9d one has to trust to create a new relation

Your motto is truly wonderful. While its true that we must trust none, its equally true that we should never misbehave with anybody for this. While dealing with people, we should go only till that much which will not harm us in any way. That way we can help strangers and keep our interests safe, too.

It is a wonderful discussion started. I liked it very much. I dont think that such person should trust anyone. I myself dont trust people much. But its not that i dont trust people. I tryst them on percentage basis. Neither do i totally trust them and its not that i dont trust them not. It is one thing which you have to do on others. Otherwise life will not be happy. There will always be some sort of trustbreaking going on. But i believe every person should be given a chance. The way you want.

well trusting every one is really not possible. you canst distinguish between cheats and really good people. trust but dont over trust. and of course if you are made a fool its really very hard to come out of it. your strategy is good.

absolutely not! there are many people who'll take advantage out there especially if u are sooo trusting..anyone will learn this one if they experienced being betrayed..in my case, it takes a long time to finally give my trust to a person..one has to develop it and it should be tested and proven for years..hard it may be but thats how it is.. :)

i love ur motto though....its simplistic...nothing complicated. :)

not at all. how can one trust anybody at the first moment. trust is something that we feel after we know about the person, his/her background, behaviour.
