It’s easy to become generally cynical – to decide politicians
are all corrupt, landlords are all grasping, shopkeepers are out to fleece you
etc
It’s hard to believe there are plenty of honest,
trustworthy, principled people out there who get a lot less attention than the
rogues and always get overlooked.
You might think it’s mainly oldies like me who’re cynical
because we’ve had a lot of experience of people trying to con us in one way or another,
but it seems some young people are just as cynical about the way life is
treating them.
One thing I can’t help feeling cynical about is whopping
price rises in the wake of some global crisis. All it takes is a pandemic or a
war or a financial crash and suddenly prices shoot up, with the international
crisis taking the blame.
But I really should try harder not to be cynical, as it
takes some of the joy out of life. I should be more open-minded and
philosophical and not allow the seedy reality to dominate my thinking.
