There's no reason for me to think the sun won't come up in the morning. It may be cloud-covered but it will be there. Ocean waves will ebb and flow. It will rain when the weatherman says it won't and vice versa.
Faith in people? I think it's more a matter of having trust in certain people that is based on their past actions. I think trust is a more fitting word then faith.
Is it safe to say that your "trust" in people is based on individual experiences with individual folks, and not based off a "faith" or absolute trust in humans as a whole, trusting the consistency of physical nature (the sun comes up) more than the inconsistency of human nature? (people lie and are deceitful)
I understand what you're saying. excellent point.
