ZENgagement
I think we too often make choices based on the safety of cynicism,
and what we’re lead to is a life not fully lived.
Cynicism is fear,
and it’s worse than fear –
it’s active disengagement.

I think that cynics are are disappointed idealists and as Adam Phillips suggests – they are the people who experience their disappointment up front…and behind it is loss…
Annette:
It is like you can’t find engagement either way if you have cynical idealism.
