I think what you're describing are those who are able to learn to be present, versus those who are cynical. I also think there are more than just those two kinds of people in the world; it is far, far more varied than just this binary, so I agree it's a spectrum. In general, though, I find cynical people insufferable, because they find everything insufferable.
