day no. 15,933: sin-icism

"Cynicism (is) the ability to point—as the fellow said—to the price of everything and the value of nothing" -- Douglas Wilson, God Rest Ye Merry

Cynicism can rightly see that everything costs something, but it cannot see anything being worth the price. It prides itself on sales resistance. It won't be anyone's sucker. So it opts to mock other's values at the expense of being unable to value anything. The only joy it has is mocking the joys of others.
