David Paul Dorr:
Anger always has an exhaust pipe. For some it’s a temper. For some the anger turns inward and comes out as depression. For some, though, anger escapes through cynicism.
Cynics constantly want to manage people, put them in their boxes. Cynics have a high view of their understanding and a low view of another’s point-of-view. If they can’t find a flaw in an argument, they can find one in motives or in tone.
They are focused on their will, their version of events, their commentary. They pride themselves in seeing around people, or seeing through them. But they never actually see them. And it’s anger, resulting from the obstruction of their will. Their will is for people to see things the way they see: always questioning, never trusting.
Above all, cynics don’t pray for people.
