About This Quote
Cynicism is a way of thinking that is characterized by a belief that people are self-serving and only care about themselves. Cynics are pessimistic, believing that life is full of conflicts and problems. While perhaps true, this kind of thinking does not make for a happy person. Rather, it makes for an unhappy person.
The cynical person has very little hope in life and sees no good in the world. When the cynical person thinks of the past, they remember what was bad or painful in their lives, rather than what was good or happy. Similarly, when the cynical person thinks of the future, they remember what will be bad or painful to them, rather than what will be good or happy.
