The audacity of trust: defying the dangers of life in Japan
I am a very trusting fellow. When I cross the street I trust the driver of the approaching vehicle to suppress whatever rage or hatred my appearance may inspire and not mow me down. I walk down the street trusting those within knife-range not to have a knife, or whoever has one not to be in the grip of an unfocused murderous passion, stoked by economic discontent, political discontent, social discontent, insanity or simple morbid curiosity ("What does it feel like to kill someone?"). I enter my neighborhood supermarket trusting no one has planted a bomb under the lettuce. I trust the lettuce not to be soaked in carcinogens. And so on and so on.
