My blo...Yeah, I agree as I am quite cynical myself. My blog ID says it all ;P<BR/><BR/>An encouraging word or two, to share in another's new-found relationship (however short-lived it may be), it's not easy. Cynicism is so much easier.<BR/><BR/>Though sometimes it does get to me. All those bitching and negativity is just too much. I get sick and tired of it. And feel that it's time to get out there and to do something about it.<BR/><BR/>At the end of the day, it's a personal <I>choice</I> really. Do we take the path of less resistance or do we make another fellow human being happy?Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09687038699686567647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8532639.post-1118730959726793012005-06-14T14:35:00.000+08:002005-06-14T14:35:00.000+08:00Some people think that it's cool to be cynical abo...Some people think that it's cool to be cynical about life - and I've been guilty of it many times myself; laughing at those who still believe in old-fashioned values, rolling my eyes at friends who gush about their new relationships (and taking bets on how long they'd last...)<BR/><BR/>Maybe it's a coping mechanism. It's a lot easier believing that life's not fair, that we should accept human limitations and our lot in life, than admitting that there are people out there every day - <I>other</I> people - making their dreams come true.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe it's just more fun being a bitch ;)Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299949444657013533noreply@blogger.com
