I do agree, but the thing that really defines your worldview is what you think the ratio of "good" to "bad" people are, along with how much you think people can change.
Personally, I think a lot of humans are largely interested in maintaining the status quo and avoiding large amounts of change. That doesn't necessarily mean that they're bad or evil or unredeemable, it just means that they're influenced by the systems that we've built and take comfort in what is known.
Be careful of diving too far into cynicism. Why would you try to change anything if you think it's impossible? Understand that the world is frustrating sometimes and give grace whenever you can when people make mistakes (as long as you make it clear when boundaries are crossed).
