Both imposters

Neither cynicism nor naïveté should be taken as reference points for one’s identity.  If one wishes to impress people with one’s intellect one opts for cynicism.  If one wishes to impress people with one’s spirituality one opts for naïveté.  If one has no desire to impress anyone, one opts for treating both imposters just the same.
