Cynicism is for wimps. 

Any fool can be a skeptic. And if your skepticism knows no bounds, you're a fool. 

Having been burned is no excuse for giving up, for judging all grapes sour. To pretend that there's no choice but to give up hope and trust, that clinging to them is ridiculous, is a coward's claim, a victim's view, a pathetic, proofless premise. 

Cynics lack the huevos to engage, so they lie that engagement is futile. 

Sorry, wrong. 

They'd know that if they tried instead of whining that they can't.
