Built-in Trust

Made in the image of God, the appearance of man was based on trust.  Had it not been based on trust, man would have eyes around his head.

Over the centuries, nobody has found it necessary to walk around with a rear and side view mirrors [1] or cameras.  Why is that?  Why do people all over the world trust that they would not be stabbed by someone from behind?  Why take the risk when such a risk can be minimized?  More and more vehicles are being equipped with rear sensors, why do people not wear them on their backs?  Google glasses designed to fit on the face can record what is in front.  Why not market a gadget to be worn around the rest of the head that can record what is behind and on the side?

Man apparently trusts that he will not be harmed by what he cannot see.

Is this built-in trust so perfect that man cannot find any fault with it?  Man has found faults with creation in so many other aspects of life and is continuously finding ways to prevent, improve, cure, repair, minimize or mask those faults.  Pimples and wrinkles are examples, and the list goes on and on.  Even trust (in general as opposed to "built-in") itself man finds imperfect and has invented lawsuits to remedy breaches of trust, like deceit and betrayal.

Again, why is man so trusting of what and who maybe behind his back, beside him and in his blind spot?
