how to find beauty in a cynical world

some would say that the best and/or quickest way to find beauty in a
cynical world is to stop looking for it.

well, maybe that's true.

but it's fun to search for it, too.

...

most of the time, anyway.

...

well, some of the time.

...

[insert punchline here]

No punchline needed. Just acknowledgment of a nice post ... like a whiff

not really.

so the more you think cynical thoughts, the more cynical the world is.
