George Bernard Shaw

"The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it." -- George Bernard Shaw

THIS DESERVES A DIATRIBE! Well, perhaps not a diatribe, but definitely a denunciation. Cynicism is the habit of mind that is, according to The American Heritage Dictionary, "scornful of the motives or virtue of others; bitterly mocking; scornful." To claim that such an attitude is simply accurate is simply false, and, it seems to me, to reveal a sadly proud heart.
