> Cynicism is just a step or two away from nihilism. It's far, far easier to destroy than it is to create. The world needs more creators, not destroyers.

Totally off topic:

Such a simple thing to say, but I thank you for it. I often want to do good, and spent time thinking about the problems in the world and how my path might help them, but I know that I am a massive cynic in many areas. Politics being a big one.

I have always agreed with your statement about creators vs destroyers, but nevertheless I've been a loud cynic. I need to reign that in. Thank you.

We need more people creating the right things, and more people destroying the wrong things and baggage that we've overburdened ourselves with.

Cynicism is a self-defense mechanism.
