Cynics or people who don't regularly conform to the standard conventions that society dictates; actually renders an indispensable service in our societies.
They provide an alternative take/analysis over a somewhat straight forward subject matter.
They cover the side of any discussion that would have deterred others, because most of the time, "going against the grain" would have meant that putting their sensibilities and reputations on the line.
People generally want to approach any conventions rather conservatively, because they are either ignorant about the subject at hand or just don't want to disturb the scheme of things in someone else's grand design.
I admire these minority groups (cynics) in our society, because they represent an opposing force, a counter-intuit which basically lay out a more realistic view on any given ideology.
One need not be provocative in nature, to be a cynic. You just need to get your principles and beliefs in line, and be prepared to stand by them if the situation merits it.
Cynicism, over time, has led several revolutions with which moulded society and the world that we all live now.
They constantly push the envelope in all human endeavors, questioning socially assigned norms, dogmas, and belief systems.
If not for the effort of these few men/women, the world, as we now know it, would have never existed in the first place....
So, the next time you encounter a person with an opposing ideology from yours, ask yourself whether you got your facts straight enough and why your logic is now being presented in another format.
I absolutely hate capacity planning meetings.... because; I found out, that I'm always the only cynic standing...
