    The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it.

      When working on an office, it’s great and all that you have “the power of accurate observation” but god our Debbie downer is insufferable.

      Aren’t you confusing cynicism with skepticism?

          When I was in high school, a friend of mine came from a Republican family. He once told me “You think that if it would be nice that a thing were true, that means it is true”.

          It took me a long time to understand what he meant, but I finally do, and he was spot on with how my philosophy worked.
