a fool is one who goes on trusting against all his experience.

and you deceive him again, and he trusts you;
and you deceive him again, and he trusts you.

His trust is tremendous; his trust is
so pure that nobody can corrupt it.

Don't try to create a wall of knowledge around you.
Whatsoever experience comes to you,
let it happen, and then go on dropping it.
Go on cleaning your mind continuously;
go on dying to the past so you remain in the present here-now,
as if just born, just a babe.
- Osho
