Overly pessimistic cynical? - Focus on solutions

In the struggle for human rights and environmental justice, it is easy to lose track of the forest because of the horrifying trees that surround us, but a new website called Bright Future is pointing the lense back towards solutions.

I don't know if there is a good way of deciding whether someone is overly cynical or optimistic. I googled the word cynical and was brought to a handy-dandy quiz that allowed users to find out just how cynical they were. Of course, my cynical side noticed that there were loads of ads and the result of the quiz was designed to be posted on a blog that would then link back to the site....

How about quotes:

The average pencil is seven inches long, with just a half-inch eraser - in case you thought optimism was dead. Robert Brault

A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing.
Oscar Wilde

Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute. Gil Stern - All courtesy of Quote Garden

I think that the best approach to corpobligation is to be optimistic while retaining a healthy cynicism when viewing both corporate reports. This allows you to fight the good fight but avoid getting snowed by public relations information. It also helps sorting through the realistic solutions while still aiming for idealistic solutions to modern day problems like environmental crises or excess waste. Keep up the good fight as we struggle for a "Brighter Future". We welcome feedback about whether we are getting too cynical or optimistic.
