Define with Specifics

What is a Cynic? A cynic is a person who believes that people are motivated purely by self-interest rather than acting for honorable or unselfish reasons. That's the dictionary definition, but lets take it farther. How does a cynic feel all the time? Well, cynical, of course. But how do they actually feel? What is going on in their mind? Lets think about this. If a regular person sees a happy couple walking down the street on a Sunday evening, their first thought is how cute the couple is, how happy they must be, how wonderful things are. When a cynic sees a couple walking down the street, their first thought is that they are probably putting on a show, which one is cheating on the other, how many skeletons are they hiding in that walk in closet? When a regular person finds out someone is doing financially well, they're naturally envious but also happy for the person. When a cynic finds out someone is doing financially well, they can only ask themselves what that person is doing illegally to make all that money. Cynics have one reaction when they see good things, and one reaction when they see bad things. Good things make them cringe because of all the BS behind them, and bad things reassure them that they are right for being cynical about everything. And honestly, cynics want to care very badly. But somewhere along the way their world was shattered and their cynicism is what keeps anyone from ever doing that to them again.
