“Misanthropy is born when excessive trust is placed in someone without knowing them well, considering them a loyal, sincere, and faithful friend, only to discover gradually that they are wicked and unfaithful, a completely different being.
When this experience is repeated several times, especially with those we considered most trusted and friendly, one ends up, after many disappointments, hating everyone and believing that there is nothing good in any man.”
(Plato, 4th century BC)
