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.
There is always a way out of any situation in life. If at times you feel there is none it is because you are staring straight ahead believing to be infallibly sure of your next step. Instead of allowing yourself the possibility to turn around a walk back a few steps from whence you came from and simply observe your prior position from this little distance. Or to look left and right instead of believing there is only one possible direction in which it is possible to walk in - or that you must go that way and no other for some reason.
