Sorry, I'll finish that, Arganth. Experience tells us

doesn't it, that people are not inherently good? Have you read 'Lord Of The Flies'?

So if we expect good then we are vulnerable. Like kids.
Their innocence and lack of prejudice is a wonderful thing but it makes them vulnerable. When they become toughened by experience they are stronger. Embittered, perhaps, but stronger.

I know this is horribly cynical but as Hart Crane put it, we live in a 'broken world'.
