Cynicism is an impenetrable façade created by the Ego behind which an initially sensitive person has locked himself up in the futile attempt of trying to avoid further disappointment and emotional pain. However instead of granting protection for the little (self-)love there is left, it is actually destroying even this because the poisoning arrows shot from cynicism are hitting both ways- outwardly and inwardly. Which is why cynics usually grow harder and more bitter with each passing day. The only chance for them to return to life and love is to let down their shield of cynicism and to allow themselves to become soft and vulnerable again.
The Ego is unconsciously aware that love has the power to bestow immortality. And because its greatest fear is to die, it is instinctively seeking after love. However, for as long as the Ego is clinging to the reasons for why it is believing itself to be loved, death remains imminently close and fear remains the dark shadow of the love it is experiencing. Only when the reason for feeling loved is an all-encompassing, unconditional love that is being felt inside your own self, does love make you immortal. Of course, your Ego is still going to die its timely death but because you have released your fears death changes from a threat into a promise.
