Does being a good person require being irrational?

Consider trust and humility: two things almost universally considered virtuous (all other things being equal).

Trust entails, among other things, having an "innocent until proven guilty" assumption of humans in general. Especially in the context of relationships (be they fraternal, social or romantic), it involves making excuses for the other person and assuming the best of them. In short, trust centers around assuming goodwill of people.

Humility is the antithesis...
