Endings make me think. Whether its a movie ending or a relationship ending or a year ending, Endings make you reach a point, where you just have to guage where you stand and choose between what you lost and what do you stand to lose.
Endings make me look at my standings as of now. Check the debits and credits and profits and losses and finally do a reality che(ck)/(que) of what remains in the end, when the end has ended. More often than not, my reality cheque bounces. The life's bumps and bruises have made me cynical over the years. I see bottomlines and fail to see there isnt one at times coz of the pessimistic cynic in me.
The word ‘cynic’ seems to be used commonly in the pejorative, as a form of weirdness by those with little intelligence to contribute. Even GB Shaw said , “The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who haven't got it.”
It isnt so bad to be a cycnic, we are just too observant and question facts and the realities. We just hypothesise everything negative and believe that everything is possible. We simply believe that the realm of the possibilities remains far above and beyond our heads, and yet oddly enough, still within our reach.
George Carlin once said - Scratch any cynic and you will find a disappointed idealist. Thats not a bad place to be ;)
Are you a disappointed idealist too?
Long live, Cynics! :)
