Couldn't agree more with your commentary on trust. When it comes to the default level of trust that a person approaches a stranger with, I think there is more to it than a sum of past experiences. There maybe a genetic predisposition to it and religion plays a big role. If the basic tenet of a religion is that man is a sinner, it is not hard to believe why someone who subscribes to that religion might start with mistrust.
