"Research shows that even though our society tends to view a cynical viewpoint as smarter or even more moral, cynical people are worse at problem solving and cognitive tasks, worse at telling whether someone is lying, have measurably worse physical and mental well being, and are less likely to vote, protest, volunteer or otherwise take steps to make the world better."

Are you a #skeptic or a #cynic?
#Skeptics tend to be open-minded, comfortable #questioning their #assumptions, and willing to change their minds; #cynics tend to be #pessimistic and #assume the worst in people and events.
