I think we too often make choices based on the safety of cynicism,
and what we're led to is a life not fully lived.  Cynicism is fear,
and it's worse than fear - it's an active disengagement.  It says,
"I don't have to ask a question."  I understand where that comes
from, I battle with cynicism on a daily basis, and there times when
it wins, and it makes me sick.  I just believe that there is a
better, healthier way, and for me, history is the medicine.
