Not me. Although I can’t promote my way as worth imitating.
In the 4th grade the teacher said “You are a cynic.”
I didn’t give it any thought until in my early 20s a young woman said: “That’s sad.”
She was right.
I so wish I were wrong but all my life people later, sometimes years later, have come up to me and said “You know what? You were right.”
I prefer my moniker - the devil’s advocate. With age, comes wisdom. For some of us.
