Brave Enough To Love
Once in a while, you come across a piece of writing that re-affirms your belief in the power of words to touch hearts...
From the book Boys Will Put You On A Pedestal (So They Can Look Up Your Skirt), by Phillip Van Munching:
"Cynicism is a belief in... nothing. You've already met cynics, I'm sure: they are those people who tell you they see thing how they really are, and that things really are rotten.
They believe that no one is sincere, and that everyone has secret, selfish reasons for the things they do. They'll tell you that everything is rigged against you, and no one means what they say.
The world according to the cynic, is a cold and cruel place... . People who are cynical, or jaded, make their own lives cold because they lack courage. It takes courage to believe in things; sometimes things will disappoint you, sometimes people will let you down.
To have faith is to risk having your heart broken, and the cynic isn't will to take that risk."
