cynic –noun 1. a person who believes that only selfishness motivates human actions and who disbelieves in or minimizes selfless acts or disinterested points of view. skeptic –noun 1. a person who questions the validity or authenticity of something purporting to be factual. Please be sure you know whether your a cynic or a skeptic. One is a healthy thing and the other is not.

Excellent, discerning, perceptive, thoughtful, wise exhortation. Thanks.
I also think God often has as difficult or worse time with cynics than He does with fools.
