Meaning
This reads as a narrow, personal optimism, not a blanket faith in everything. It points to trust in individual character and intelligence, even if institutions or crowds disappoint. In a workplace or creative team, it lands as encouragement to look at people one by one, and to assume good intent before assuming the worst.
