    My problem with cynicism was that I cared too much, about too much, and the disappointment made me hard of heart.

This is exactly my problem.

    By focusing on causes I truly find worthwhile, and my loves and hobbies, I have been able to find meaning in what I do and become less cynical about my life and place in the universe (that is, an insignificant speck).

Working on this bit. Sometimes it satisfies, other times it doesn't.
