I think Adolf Hitler reined with much power in cynicism he truely built up an imaginary
race that gave others a path to be overwhelmingly cynical of what existed and only to find ways to destroy and believe in something completely delusional.
My favorite person in history is Benjamin Franklin. He just embodied everything that presented the real power of NOT allowing cynicism to RULE. I find him so amazing and so unbelievably resourseful in so many ways. He truely had the capacity to make such a mokery of cynicism that he contributed so much to humanity by his existance. And he was not a handsome man at all, and yet he exuded such a presence of enlightenment that women found him facinating, and men were often left speachless. And whenever I find myself falling into the trap of cynicism, I begin to think of him and soon I find a chuckle and a sense of direction away from the lack of productivity that cynicism provides.
Benjamin Franklin did not talk about the rewards of martardom or how one can be only released from lifes toils by death. Franklin's life was all about life and shedding light onto life and the right to the pursuit of productive happiness. He lived a long life and I am sure was often very delighted with life as he found so many productive, positive ways to truely enjoy his life.
Benjamin's motto was "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."
