Being cynical is being critical of what society considers to be acceptable.
Cynicism is the intolerance that I have for social conventions.
I am being cynical when I am unable to act from my own authority and I choose not to follow what is considered normal practice by society.
A cynic:
- Is often seen to be rebelling against what is considered to be accepted practice
- Sees normal life from a negative perspective
- Is suffering the fate of an external authority and seeks to change the choices of that authority
- Ridicules the choices of society, believing them to be wrong
- Is unable to accept what other people tolerate
The cynic has failed to connect to their own exclusive authority because they are without the power to do so.
My Soul is never cynical. It is authorised, empowered and accepting of Life.
