They won’t drop their cynicism out of fear of being fooled. They were fooled once or twice, it felt bad man, and now they over-compensate. To be fair, for some people this is the best course. If they can’t tell truth from fiction, it’s safer to assume most things are bullshit. It’s the low tolerance for risk, low reward group.
For something like this, there’s so little risk, there’s no reason not to just believe it, where’s the harm? Well, feeling foolish is hard to swallow for some people, especially young people.
or we just don’t see the world in such absurd hyperbole of either being a niavely optimistic or darkly cynical.
almost as if the world is just people being people, and the bakery owner could also be abuser her kids at home while she gives out free cupcakes to poor moms at the bakery.
crazy idea, i know. that the world is complex and people are too. that people can be really good in one moment, and absolute monsters in the next… or is that kinda too scary/hard to comprehend… so you they have to be ONE way or the OTHER.
