Cynical or Naive

20 May

A picture they say speaks a thousand words. A thousand words spur a ton of stories. But is there truth in any of those? For a picture captures – through a perspective – a shot of image, that image is oblivious towards the surrounding information left out of that picture. If a picture shows a married man kissing a young socialite, what judgment would be placed upon the man? Could the man be doing so to save the woman from another man? The foreplay and aftermath are often left unraveled as one place his opinion and judgment based on what they perceive and not entirely what is given to them.

Such cynicism is apparent in society,  and up until this instance, I believe is also in us. Religion is so appealing because it gives people the excuse to ignore the cynical thoughts in their head and substitute them with a totalitarian answer – God’s way.  But one has to wonder if they have live enough if they are still appalled at the sight of cynicism. On the other hand, we have to ponder if we have been misguided to be so cynical. Cynical, bitter, and spiteful are being linked together and often a package of trait. I squandered on a solution a year ago and hopefully this solution will lead me to what I am looking for.

Sincerely,
Noah
