"Oh, joy ..." Cynicism and me ...
The other day, I discovered the delights of the BBC's website, and all of the wonderful things you can do there. Remember this?
The reply the quiz returned to me was enlightening. You may recall it stated: "You're a top grade cynic - in fact you've turned cynicism into an art form. You greet almost every piece of news with sneering contempt. Loosen up a bit."
I saved the piece onto my computer, and I'm now planning on incorporating it onto my Desktop Wallpaper as a mark of personal honour.
I'd like to add something to my prior posting. Cynicism, for me, is not about not having anything to believe in. Cynicism, for me, consists purely in not giving a stuff about the dismal efforts made by the mainstream to foist the same old, cookie cutter, tired cliches upon us in their news, comedies, quiz shows and other TV programmes.
"I have plenty of things to believe in," I might say: "I have a long list of things I believe in. I just don't include you on that list."
