And I think that we, just being human beings, have the potential to act as a positive current in our societies.Suecae Soundshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04949168285331693357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-965291110074390288.post-79683551874659634862009-02-03T15:22:00.000+00:002009-02-03T15:22:00.000+00:00Thanks for the link, I haven't visited there in a ...Thanks for the link, I haven't visited there in a while.<BR/><BR/>Rather than cynical, the word that comes to my mind is "silly."<BR/><BR/>Magic rigged the election? One person/group could override an entire country's collective hopes, dreams and fears? ... Isn't that akin to putting a few drops of food coloring into the sea, and hoping the whole body of water changes color?<BR/><BR/>As I think about the posts, I see where there is cynicism involve. However, this just seemed like another place for people who are dissatisfied/disillusioned with the status quo to vent.<BR/><BR/>I think they'd be cynical whether or not they practiced magic.<BR/><BR/>If there is a negative trend, I'd go more towards apathy than cynicism. Or maybe both; it depends on the issue.<BR/><BR/>But it's true that a lot of society thrives on negativity. For example, the media overexposure to the foibles of popular celebrities; and the trashier the celb, or the worse their situation, the more we see about it.<BR/><BR/>Great, Dean. Now I feel cynical! :)Jasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02213687300418014062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-965291110074390288.post-60365898934701715542009-02-03T01:18:00.000+00:002009-02-03T01:18:00.000+00:00Magic is not what made me a cynic; becoming a mana...Magic is not what made me a cynic; becoming a manager of a business did.Morgan Drake Ecksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09258538066497554895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-965291110074390288.post-61011726296028482692009-02-02T18:18:00.000+00:002009-02-02T18:18:00.000+00:00That is great to see, Scott :DJase, the initial in...That is great to see, Scott :D<BR/><BR/>Jase, the initial instigator of this was the following thread:<BR/><BR/>http://www.evocationmagic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=735<BR/><BR/>However, it's a trend I've noted over many years, on various subjects, both online and in real life.<BR/><BR/>Cynicism is a noose to creativity and progress.<BR/><BR/>LVX,<BR/>Dean.Frater Yechidahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08630272924336872824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-965291110074390288.post-27435852692480818302009-02-02T14:14:00.000+00:002009-02-02T14:14:00.000+00:00Who is cynical about what?I'm cynical about this p...Who is cynical about what?<BR/><BR/>I'm cynical about this post. :)<BR/><BR/>Just kidding.
