Don’t Go There!

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.
