I wish to become someone who could lay his soul bare anywhere.
You want to become someone who doesn’t have any agendas that could subject you to distrust, ostracism, etc. anywhere, by anyone?
One either believes in men, or do not.
Connoting that some belief is virtuous (assuming that is what you’re doing) considered harmful. Vague applause lights, too. People are as they are, and trying to see them as you think you should see them or you think they should be doesn’t win. Believing some not-nice things about people doesn’t mean you have to morally devalue them.
After commenting, I realized that this might be seen as morally devaluing for anyone who wouldn’t follow that example. I didn’t mean it that way.
Please consider the other side of the issue. If someone signals here that he doesn’t want to declare his agendas, for all those good reasons, it ruins the purpose of the thread.
If you don’t want to declare, then don’t. But don’t either give additional possible reasons that could turn into rationalizations, for others not to do it. It may be all that is needed as they might be scared enough already not to do it.
The last part, “One either believes in men, or do not.”, relates to bystander apathy. If everyone is willing to believe in his fellow man, then it is possible (though not assured, acknowledgedly) to work together. If you don’t, then everyone will simply eye the others, and wait for someone else to jump in the fray.
You can show people, by your own example, that it’s ok and human to be irrational, and that we can help it in here. You can also more explicitly tell them that it’s ok, here, to trust other people to be tolerant, that we can believe in each other.

That’s impossible. What I want, is to be brave enough to show my self regardless. And it may help to have more benign and friendly agendas for that purpose.
