Critical Thinking vs Cynicism

 

Quote: "Inside every cynical person is a disappointed idealist," George Carlin

 

Affirmation: Breath is my anchor. My anchor is my breath.

 

Realization: I think now it is the deep, dark, unrelenting cynicism of our age constantly embraced by so many which poses the most immediate threat to peace.

 

Joseph Pulitzer is reported to have said "A cynical, demagogic press will produce in time a people as base as itself." When and how does critical thinking morph into cynicism? How does one influence the other? Can faith be restored?
