I developed a new word: “Cynclical” – A recognition that cynicism is cyclical – You always ends up in the same place you started. Yet, this phenomenon possesses  an inertia and a trajectory, like a whirlpool…round and round and down. Whether you are the originator of cynicism or the recipient of it, it has an energy that negatively impacts all concerned…it maintains the dizziness essential to preserving the illusion that we cannot make progress, and retards the willingness to expend our energies toward the pursuit of the possibilities.
