A-Z of Things That Annoy Me: C

A-Z of Things That Annoy Me:

C:

Cynicism

Now, I think you would be forgiven for not forgiving me for naming cyncism as my "C" of things that annoy me. I have cultivated a personality based almost entirely on cynicism (with the occasional embellishment of self-loathing, it is to be admitted), but nevertheless, induldge me.

Becuase cynicism serves no purpose at all. Well, no, it does have one purpose, and that single purpose is to look all wise and insightful when something goes wrong. Cynicism puts doubt in the minds of those who had previously been clear. It never presents a solution to a problem, it is only capable of mocking or deriding the big ideas of others.
