Is cynicism a good thing? As an occasional cynic, I nod from ceiling to floor.
Does it impede unbridled happiness? Why no. A scoff, a cough-like "ha!", a crossing-of-hands and a mental rolling-with-dry-laughter makes my day.
There's an all day, every day triumph because I don’t expect to find the gold locket in the packet of chips anyway. A whooping thrill when a leaf hits me in the face because, well, that means the leaves are still around. Calm nod to the lorry driver I’ve just missed being killed by, since I don’t hope that he’ll stay on the right side of the road, and anyway, I’m alive. Oh, am I by any chance, seeing the bright side? Thought to ponder, but no. By assuming to be only met by the dark side, any non-dark side is a happy bonus. But when the bonus comes, I don’t think the taxman will come with his axe.
Someone defines a cynic as a person who has taken off his/her rose tinted glasses and crushed them to the ground, thereby improving vision considerably. (audience: wry laugh) I never wore rose tinted glasses. Or even those sickly yellow tinted ones. (Yellow is beautiful only in aging books too brittle to be held. And when it’s a submarine). Therefore, dumb definition thrown in bin.
Cynicism's there because it's easy. To shake the analysis out of things, to bypass the post-mortem and to start with nil. That way, anything can only be an addition.
Rather be sittin' just forgettin' it
