All men cheat. Men who don’t cheat are simply men who have not found a way to cheat. All men lie. Men who don’t lie are men who know their lies won’t be believed. And all men think about themselves first, how could they not – it’s their own bodies and own minds they occupy right? And most true of all is that,

All men are frauds.

The only difference between them is that some admit it.

I myself deny it.

Conscience is the little voice that tells you someone might be looking.

It doesn’t tell you to do good or bad, that’s a wrong massly held belief (and good and bad are relatively terms anyway).

It just sneaks within you the idea that someone is judging you, and judging you completely, on your actions right now.

So, what do you do when someone’s looking?

What is a cynic? Is a cynic a man who is distrustful? An extreme pessimist? Or a realist?

For me a cynic is a man who is distrustful without reason. Pessimist without proof. And a realist only when it involves the negative.

Henry Louis Mencken
