Many times, you are wrong.

I wanted to write a post on why you should not be a cynic. Rather you should develop a healthy relation with skepticism and willingness to change mind.

But a quick Google research on the topic of Cynicism taught me that I am wrong to suppose a cynic is someone who is always negative about the world or anything. At least as per the philosophical definition. The modern usage of the word cynic has changed a bit.

Still, it holds. I have incorrect or incomplete definition of a cynic in my mind. And that makes me wrong. I should now go ahead and correct myself with further exploration.

This mindset is important. Keep in the back of the mind a gentle voice that whispers you often: “You might be wrong.”

But just keep it gentle. If that puppy becomes a wolf, you are screwed.
