Why so cynical?

Why are you or those you know well cynical?

Etc.

Here’s a good definition of cynicism from “Wikipedia: cynicism (contemporary)” : Cynicism is an attitude or state of mind characterized by a general distrust of others’ apparent motives or ambitions, or a general lack of faith or hope in the human race or in individuals with desires, hopes, opinions, or personal tastes that a cynic perceives as unrealistic or inappropriate, therefore deserving of ridicule or admonishment. It is a form of jaded negativity, and other times, realistic criticism or skepticism.
