I Am a Cynic

It is my philosophy. I don’t understand why Cynic typically has negative connotations but it’s a great line of thinking that has gave me great joy in life. Personally, Diogenes has been one of my biggest heroes.

You will already know that cynicism is no longer viewed in that philosophical way.
Such a loss.
That doesn’t mean I don’t follow that philosophy anyway. It’s brought me happiness and I want to spread that joy. @mathsman

@MorbidCynic
I'm with you on that style.
But currently if you tell people you're a cynic, they see that as a negative.

But why "morbid"cynic?
I have a morbid sense of humor lol @mathsman

As in "characterized by an abnormal and unhealthy interest in disturbing and unpleasant subjects, especially death and disease." 😱
You should see my posts about abortion, incest, and Chernobyl victims lol @mathsman
