cynical, definition.

this may strike some as cynical, but the world is bursting with cynicism, the world is dying of cynicism. in a minute i'm going to look it up, because definitions tend to get blurred in certain situations, like this one. it feels like, it seems like, it looks like chaos and corruption, brutality and hate are exploding everywhere around the planet. when we are in the most needful precarious state, the state has turned against us. we need a revolution of love. cynical is raytheon. cynical is monsanto. cynical is trump. cynical is hate. they are worried about being replaced? they will be, whether they like it or not, replaced. but replaced by what? not more cynicism surely, earth cannot withstand, let them be replaced by respect, let them be replaced by compassion, let their cynicism be replaced by cooperation, let their hate be replaced by love.
i am cynical about the government, in the modern colloquial sense. but this is interesting. when i look at the greek root of the word:

For the Cynics, the purpose of life is to live in virtue, in agreement with nature.
The origin of the term “cynicism” is associated with the ancient Greek philosophical school of cynicism (from the ancient Greek cyon – dog), which took shape towards the end of the 5th – beginning of the 4th century BC. Representatives of cynicism rejected the importance of money, power, honors and other human values. The moral ideal of the Cynics was a natural way of life, asceticism and individual virtue. 

so the word has been turned into an accusation, a negative, and now i will embrace it's original meaning, in my doglike, stubborn boy way.

and going back to my first paragraph, should i rewrite it? i think i'll leave it, for that's how i started this line of thought, this blustery monday with the wind pushing me over and the teachers striking and the umbrellas turning concave and twisted like broken birds and the demolition proceeding.

so maybe the world is dying from the twisted meaning cynical by the powers that threaten life.

i suppose we're stuck with a mixup of meaning. in the greek sense, i am a devout cynic. in the modern sense, the government is cynical of me.
