Cynicism

At what point does cynicism change from being 'healthy' to 'unhealthy'? There's a lot of it about!

Re: Cynicism

the older one gets the more cynical is. This is purely down to life experience and seeing those younger than us making the same mistakes we used to

OK I surrender


Greek philosophy of the 4th century B.C. advocating the doctrines that virtue is the only good, that the essence of virtue is self-control and individual freedom, and that surrender to any external influence is beneath the dignity of man.

When One just sees the bad in People without bothering to look for the good,
when You stop trusting even the Folks who love You,
When You're afraid of People who are different from Yourself,
When You think Folks just want to take from You and not give.

That way of thinking will ruin Your Life not just Your health, :~)
