The different between a realist and a cynicist is one of extremes. The realist sits between the cynic and the idealist.
The cynic we've already defined. The idealist is one who doesn't allow practicalities to interfere with his conduct which is often unrealistic in expectations for reasults or his ideas which are often visionary to the point of implausability.
A realist or pragmatist on the other hand is well aware of the limitations of society, but not focused solely on the negative aspects therein.
I bet you most people have a little bit of all three hiding around inside.

Agreed. I'm getting in touch with my inner cynic.
