Because so many people put emphasis on the ugly who could be emphasising the beautiful.
Do you always try to see the best in people?

If you always try to do the right things for other people then the world will be better because you were in it.

It depends, even in the rudest people, I can see good stuff in them.
However, this doesn't count to people for reasons like being not understandable (including in their own language), don't tend to write or speak well (basically the same as the first one), or just being nice to me because they want something from me (and when they finally get it, they no longer want to talk to me).
If you want a good example: NiNTENDOMiNATi0N.
He was a great friend of mine when I showed the world what the 3DS Capture Card can do, then he bought one himself, and deleted every possible contact with me.

Depends on my mood, really.
Depends. If I've been friends with them for a while, or they're a friend's friend, I do try to see the best in them. If it's someone I'm not good at getting along with, etc. I'm a Worst-Case Scenario type person.

When I first meet someone, I'm probably more likely to see the good in them, but it depends on stuff like my mood, their mood, whatever.
I definitely am able to overlook someone I know well's faults.

My only thought in my mind when I see my own peers, "Why do I have to speak with this idiot?"
I see the good things only when I get to know them.
Adults with authority I have friendly relations with but I try to stay away from my peers the most I can.

It reallly all depends on the situation and how you are feeling.
Like, people can say they always look in the best of people, but internally in your mind you might have prejudice thoughts at first about something, and though you tell yourself that you shouldn't be judgmental sometimes it just happens.
I mean, we are flawed, and so there are going to be times where you accidentally think of a person negatively or feel like they are not as good as you thought they were.
All that matters though is how you show it. I mean, even on your bad days it takes a lot of strength and optimism to still try to see the best in a situation. I mean, it is especially hard if you failed at something, because your first instinct is to be upset by it, while you may see that "this failure actually motivated me to try hardest to win" or "I will make sure to never let that failure happen again" or something along of the lines of that.
Remember, there is two sides of a coin, and much like how your perspective is, both ways are correct, but one is much more positive and the other is much more negative.
If you spread optimism and positive emotions, usually that spreads to others, while negative emotions and being pessimistic can really make people feel bad or maybe even worse than they feel. It can be a domino effect indeed.
As for me, I usually do try to find the best in all people, though it can be hard when you may have to face their personalities or stereotypes where you just feel the instinct at first.

I try, but I fail usually. We are all assholes, it's just more apparent on some people. Friends are the worst, because they aren't afraid to be an asshole to you because your friends. There's probably a lot of good in people that outweighs the bad, I just can't see it.
