@benroyce@mastodon.social @vicgrinberg@mastodon.social Well said. The cynic sees only pointless optimism. They think people who try to be positive just sit on their arses claiming that just "thinking positive thoughts" would make the world better. Of course it won't. But what cynics don't get is that there are people who realise that being positive not just involves thoughts but also actions. The world can become a better place if we put the effort in and don't let disappointments along the way stop us from trying.
