Is it bad to be a cynic?

People call you a cynic when want to underline your disregard for morality. But is it that bad?

okay, I'm french so I'll try to answer back correctly ...
In my point of view "to be cynic" is to not to be an idiot, cause we are in a hard world, dangereous. Be cynic is to be alive and to really see the true world.
I'm so sorry for my bad english

I can't really say what I think lol

I don't think that being cynical automatically means that you're disregarding morality. To me, being cynical means being realistic at the same time as pessimistic. that means not being naive but then not believing in much good in the world either.

so with that definition I don't think being cynical is bad, but being realistic is better.
