I always considered myself a pretty good optimist, but in light of a lot of bad world and local news lately, find my opinions to be rather on the jaded side. I HOPE to return to my optimistic roots, but is it possible in this day and age? Also, is it really just me or have there been a lot of converts to the belief of cynicism lately? What’s the prognosis, you cynics and optimists out there, and can I/should I look forward to a more optimistic outlook on life, or settle down as a permanent member of the cynic club? Thanks for your opinion.
