"You see the world through your cynical eyes,
You're a troubled young man, I can tell."

the mindless cynicism of the teenager is as foolish as the naive idealism of the child
any adult who carries either into chronological maturity is lacking in cognitive maturity
which is not a judgment nor condemnation: we all mature at different rates, and everyone deserves a helping hand
the judgment or condemnation comes when the adult doubles down in stubborn clinging to cynicism or idealism when met with the patient helping hand
