Enjoying Cynicism

I am an optimist most times, but am truly appreciative of cynicism and dark humour.
Recent events on the global economic front and its trickle down effect on b-school students is a situation compelling to bring out cynicism amongst everyone.

I find doomsday predictors fascinating creatures, they first make sweeping statements and later bite their tongues on being proved wrong. Personally i feel it doesn't make sense being a doomsday predictor, cause if the world does end how will you gloat on your accurate predictions.

Coming to the recent wave of negativity and cynicism on campus. At some level it is justified, but rather not dwell on it for too long. It is the perfect opportunity to practice the art of dark jokes, but do not believe in the negative rhetoric.

Life goes on, the sun will rise again, the wind will blow and more importantly everyone will get good jobs..
