Cynical Cyanide

"I have been repeatedly told not to use my blog as a medium of communication. However, I can't resist the temptation at times.
I lack the skill of articulation. Today, PP managed to articulate the problem in humor prevalent in our circles. Most of our humor revolves around criticizing others.
We love being cynics. Identifying things that do not work. Making fun of people's munjis. Talking of change. Conjuring up visions. Hiding behind excuses. I am happy about slowly shedding off the cynic's glasses which shroud your eyes. Now I am a lot more positive.
And as a result, I stay away from the cynics. They are injurious to my spirits."

We love criticizing others to hide our own shortcomings.
We contrive faults in them, find excuses to mock them, conceal our hypocrisy as tafri.
We feed on their misery to make ourselves feel better.

If sitting in a group and speaking foul about those not present is what having "fun" in Social circles is all about, I despise You.

Sarcasm is good, but it breeds Cynicism.
I am glad I can see things positively again.
Thank You Prakhar Prabhakar, Rachit Chandra.
