Please let me be cynical. That's the least you can do for
me. In fact, you don't have to do anything. Just don't be yourself and nag. Is
that too much to ask for? I guess not. And i hope you realize sooner (if not
later) that we are alive not because death is difficult but because we somehow
find excuses to breathe a bit longer. Our pursuit of happiness is just a trick.
We don't really understand why we're glad about things that most probably won't
matter after a certain period of time. What's the point? All this chasing the
impossible dream and everything that comes in between. What i can posit is we
kill time as long as we can, before getting massacred by it. Even philosophy
can't keep us from falling into own own dungeon. Now, once you are in such
darkness, everything else seems bright. And you start learning to hope. It's
called reflex. Like the jerking seconds hand of a clock. Time manifesting
itself into yesterdays, today's and then tomorrows. Oh, yes, tomorrow is always
going to be brighter. In our head. You know why? Because we are natural born
procrastinators and the only living creatures who procrastinate. No other being
can afford to procrastinate. Apart from all these theories, cynicism prevails
hand in hand with your nagging skills. But then I let you win because i'm
cynical for a reason.
Cynicism is the intellectual cripple's substitute for intelligence :-) it is like an intellectual dandyism
