We’re talking about Cynicism today, a philosophical ideal. You might’ve heard people calling themselves a cynic, or you call yourself one (because you’d really like to go deep into the forest, live on your own, and never come out again). But what does it actually mean? Being a ‘cynic’ today might mean that you hate the world, but that wasn’t all there was to the word.
Take a look at our sentence of the day:

我第一次知道犬儒主義Cynicism~
[NOTE] customs 海關
犬儒主義（希臘語：κυνισμός，英語：Cynicism）是對他人的動機從根本上不信任的一種心理態度。奉行犬儒主義的人通常對其他人不抱有信仰與希望，同時否定人們將抱負、慾望、貪欲、刺激、功利等作為自己的生活動力（犬儒主義者認為這些都是徒勞）。這一概念本意是通過正確的訓練，不被一切世俗的事物，包括宗教、禮節、慣常的衣食住行方面等習俗而產生的慾望束縛。而現代的含義更偏向於對社會價值觀的批判。
