...Cynicism.

"...If a person doesn't feel cynical, then they are out of phaze with the 20th century. Being cynical is the only way of dealing with modern civilisation, you can't just swallow it all..."

  • It's hard to know who your friends are in this day. I have one best friend for the past 17 years and he's stuck by me through thick and thin. But I've had bad experiences with co-workers over the years and ex-school mates who were my friends THEN but act like they could give a crap less whether I was alive or dead now. I never let go of anybody unless they force me to let go of them. I don't mind being that way, but you get tired of being hurt.

  • Bless you Frank!
