Maybe if you're a whiny babby or a dumby it does.

that's because a lot of people get a sunburn when stepping out of their little cave

questioning the world around me for the first time of my life made me depressed and cynical , but i eventually learnt to deal with it. I deal with things like moral relativism simply by analysing why i believe this or that to be the right thing, while finding reasons why i should/shouldnt change my morals.

I may have stayed a cynic (just because it is fun sometimes) , but i can still enjoy life with all its ugly truths , (and my lower then mediocre income)

If you're cynical and depressed you're not doing it right.
