Sometimes we risk a lot, but usually people tend to interact with reality by minimising surprise, and sharing their beliefs. In fact, even principles are beliefs, but their roots are that much deeper. We learn to trust, and as such over time the surprise becomes minimized.
Sharing is caring they say, but it is also essential in human interaction. It does not really matter how widely you share, because everything is connected anyway, and even helping one human somewhere is effective in spreading love across humanity.
