Cynics

All of us has many friends. Some friends are very supporting, kind hearted, patient, encouraging. As the opposite we may have one or two friends who are cynics. They just always see the cloud in the shiny days. They are so sensitive that they can see things differently and make our days worse.
I found some words about cynics
here
and I laughed when I read it. Yes, it’s true, I know some of them and how they react just exactly the same with the proverbs below:

A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin.
Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956) American journalist, satirist and social critic.

The cynic is one who never sees a good quality in a man, and never fails to see a bad one. He is the human owl, vigilant in darkness and blind to light, mousing for vermin, and never seeing noble game.
Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887) American politician.

A cynic can chill and dishearten with a single word.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) U.S. poet, essayist and lecturer.

Cynicism is cheap -- you can buy it at any Monoprix store -- it's built into all poor-quality goods.
Graham Greene (1904-1991) English writer.

A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing.

In my opinion, to be a cynic is just so easy, but it’s a struggle and a challenge for each of to encourage each other to do the good and positive things.
