Balancing trust with protecting yourself?

If you believe that people are inherently good, and you approach the world with trust — if you might accurately be described as dewy-eyed and idealistic — if you believe that justice occurs and evil is punished — how do you preserve these elements of your personality (trust, innocence, belief in justice) in light of the urge to protect yourself from hurt and attack (emotional shielding)?

Help me find out how it could have gone for a stranger

I'm trying to find a link that was popular a few years ago: from what I remember, a man in his mid or late 20s thought through all the major alternate paths his life could have taken had he made different decisions, and produced a poster or a large graphic of the resulting decision tree with nifty pixelgraphics. Does anyone have the link?

Know a (food) oil sprayer that works well?

my mom wants an oil sprayer or mister that works. she doesn't care if it mists finely or sprays more roughly, but she wants a personal recommendation of one that keeps working (she had a misto and a generic brand and they both stopped working, despite cleaning). that, of course, is why i'm posting the question here rather than doing a web search. thoughts?

self-forgiveness

What does buddhism/hinduism/christian say about forgiving self. I am not able to forgive myself for the mistakes i made and mistakes i will be making in the future and keep torturing myself saying i should be perfect. I am not able to change myself as a result. Any other insight on self-forgiveness.

Bad things happen, yes. But people should still be happy, right?

I'd like to find books or movies about feeling happiness while living in a world with plenty of injustice, sorrow, evil, and corruption.

How do you cultivate gratitude?

Do you have ways to put your life into perspective and force yourself to appreciate that you're really pretty privileged? Or do you allow yourself to get bored and solipsistic and desirous of more (material or otherwise) stuff?

Help me learn to speak better

How can I most practically improve my speaking voice? In everyday conversation I often mumble, slur words or speak too fast. I am not looking on ways to become a better public speaker, but to improve the articulation and speech patterns of everyday conversation.
