I'm sorry. What's wrong with being cynical? To me it seems healthy for our society to have cynics. Someone has to bring the rest of the population back to reality. The human race, particularily those here in the U.S., get way to warm and fuzzy with their rose-tinted glasses. They don't see the crimson wave off beyond the horizon that one day is going to swallow us all. In the meantime they just act like animals. We strive to hold ourselves above the rest of the Animal Kingdom but we act just as primal as they. Immediate gratification is the game. A sense of entitlement pervades throughout humanity.
I work in retail. The store I work at has a liberal return policy and we will take items back for exchange or credit that are advanced in age. But it isn't a license for someone to go home, clean out their closet, and exchange old stuff just to get new stuff. But, if we offer resistance to these short-sighted shmucks they complain to our corporate headquarters. And of course, they have the back-bone of a jellyfish and cave and say, "go back to the big bad store and they will take care of you."
Working in retail you really see the worst in people. Parents dump their kids to play with our merchandise and give us guff if we ask them to not touch everything. Then you have the people that have waited in line all of a minute and they act as though they've been there half an hour. Listen people, the world is one day going to melt under they dying breath of the sun but it's not going to be while any of us are alive. Take a deep breath, relax, and then get the hell out of my store. Better yet, don't ever come in. You make my stomach churn and turn. Okay, I'm done. Thanks for listening to the rant of your friendly neighborhood cynic. Just remember, even if you are paranoid, that doesn't mean they are not after you.....
