CYNICISM

or am I just depressed?

avatar

What I truly believe in.

I guess as I have gotten older, my cynicism has gotten worse. I believe that everyone is out there for themselves and the politicians and corporations are the main culprit. Sure, there are exceptions, but they are few and it's getting worse.

I believe that the ultimate ending will be a Two Class system. The Rich and the poor.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynicism

Cynicism (Greek κυνισμός) was originally the philosophy of a group of ancient Greeks called the Cynics, founded by Antisthenes.

Currently, the word 'cynicism' generally describes the opinions of men and women who maintain that self-interest is the primary motive of human behavior, and are disinclined to rely upon sincerity, human virtue, or altruism as motivations.

Generally, subscribers to this view believe that cynicism is understandable and say that as the Information age continues, the repeated exposés of malfeasance by politicians, corporations and organized religions validates growing cynicism (and the related philosophy of skepticism).
