No one is born a cynic. It takes a profane amount of unfairness to rattle someone to that point. A lot of times we don't even remember what it was that destroyed our optimistic outlook. But we've held on to cynicism for so long now it's like a security blanket that protects us from false hope. It's much easier to accept the pain when you’ve expected it all along. You can't even fathom what it's like to live like this unless you've been there so please stop telling us we’re being negative all the time. We have hope; just not as much as you do.
