Genius is able to keep questioning to be that child, to keep wondering about things, right?
So, your ability to wonder, to ask questions, to not feel like you know all the answers, isn't a beautiful thing.
It's not just to make you more intelligent, it also makes you happier.
Cynics start from a place where they know everything.
The world is just so rotten.
Everyone's out for power.
Everyone's got like an ulterior motive.
It's all just about these, you know, you're really not interested in other people, Robert.
You're interested in making money, right?
Cynicism reduces everything to this one level.
It has nothing to do with reality, because reality is much richer and weirder and more mysterious than that.
When you're a cynic, you're missing the beauty of life.
But also, people don't like to be around cynics.
Because, yeah, people like maybe some sarcasm, I don't deny that.
But people want to feel that sense of innocence.
They want to feel excited.
They want to feel enthusiastic.
And if you're a Debbie Downer, if everything is like, oh, that's what's really going on here.
You're not really blah, blah, blah.
But eventually they're going to push you aside because they don't want to hear that kind of stuff.
