    I've questioned myself numerous times if I am a cynic or becoming one. I just don't know the answer but I do know that as time goes on I can point out the cynics.

    Honestly I had to google this word
    As we don't use it at much at home purely because
    We believe or I should say I believe that a cynic person
    Possibly may have become cynic due to various
    Misfortunes , bad luck ,suffering and bitterness and
    Then become cynical it's the outcome of looking
    For a fair go to make up for so much shit
    But I do believe some are raised to be selfish
    For no apparent reason and this we could call selfish
    This cynic and selfishness I don't appreciate
    But I'm a firm believer in fairness

    I read this a long time ago when it got bumped and thought, what a crazy Mofo. But that was all before you joined our clique-ish club. Carry on.

    We live in a selfish world and if you give an inch people take miles sometimes with no thankyous and it eventually takes its wear on you till your walked all over so in all honesty you have to become a little selfish to survive this world or get trashed

    I think we're inherently selfish; it's survivalism and not a negative if you don't treat people like shit in the process.

    I try to just be decent and as open-minded as I can because it's the right thing for me to do. Not easy either. Still, I'd rather someone prove me wrong in my confidence in them than my going into it assuming they'll do that anyway.

    Great post on the first page that addressed this.
