As we’ve said before, when we’re young and our brain is beginning to make sense of our experiences, it creates our “working model” of the world. The brain organizes around the tone and tension of our first experiences. So if, early on, you have safe, nurturing care, you think that people are inherently good. And, as we also talked about earlier, this worldview makes you project “goodness” onto the people you meet, and that projection of goodness elicits good things in return.
