Not sure if I want to hold my breath on this one...

Old age, and the cynicism of a lifetime of seeing all of the absolutely fucking rotten things people do to each other, is not exclusive to any one generation. If they live long enough, all people of all generations will get old, and far too many of them will replace the optimism of youth with the cynicism of age when they finally do get old.

As I age I have tried my best to keep the optimism alive........

I am a fellow old guy. My cynicism is in check.
