The Reason for Cynicism

Behind every cynic, every pessimist, and every out-wordly unfriendly person... there is a broken heart that needs someone to heal it. I wish more people would realize this. All anyone sees is someone who's really pissed at the world, but do they ever stop to wonder why? Doesn't it ever occur to anyone that all that negativity is a guard, a defense against pain that no one wants to feel? Maybe they need to be broken by someone they've loved with all their heart before they can see past the wall and into the real person.
