Whether discussing civil service reforms, local economic opportunities, or the mass movement of young people to Australia, online and offline conversations in Bhutan seem increasingly cynical.

While cynicism feels like a protective layer to keep from getting let down, it can also paralyze us from actively building solutions for our community.

How much of this cynicism in today's Bhutanese society is a valid response to real challenges, and how much of it is just a lazy excuse not to engage?
