And people can smell that, and it feeds cynicism.

I get this cynicism. I get this sense of impossibility.

But I'll tell you how they do it. No cynicism.

And that cynicism will eat at your energy and will eat at your potential.

And just keep in mind and this really requires a bit of cynicism that you really don't matter to a large partner.

And when they finally hand you heartache, when they slip war and hatred under your door and offer you handouts on street corners of cynicism and defeat, you tell them that they really ought to meet your mother.

liberty is usually around the corner, even for the poorest of the poor facts that can challenge cynicism and the apathy that leads to inertia, facts that tell us what's working and, more importantly, what's not, so we can fix it, facts that if we hear them and heed them could help us meet the challenge that Nelson Mandela made back in 2005, when he asked us to be that great generation that overcomes that most awful offense to humanity, extreme poverty, facts that build a powerful momentum.
