About This Quote
Cynicism is what passes for insight when courage is lacking. Cynicism is the belief that people or situations are overwhelmingly bad, and that people should avoid them as much as possible. Cynicism leads to inaction, and inaction leads to the perpetuation of problems. Cynics believe that life is full of bad things and that we should take every step we can to avoid them. They see the world as a place filled with problems and opportunities, but not much in between.
