Okay, But, i think you're misplacing the meaning here, it's not cynical it's being realistic.
I know that sometimes it's uncomfortable to deal with those thoughts, with those facts.
but as you can see, i'm very much blunt with things, i don't want to make you uncomfortable... but being realistic is very important to me. we have our small little lives and we want to be happy in them but we must never forget the people that are, on a daily basis, are dying in other countries over nothing at all, that suffer ten fold times more then we do, that there are people in this world that do not have the privileges that we have. and historically, we should never ever forget the people who dedicated their lives so we can have all the beautiful rights, privileges and technology we have today.
you can choose to avoid talking about it, but if you do realy want to avoid those subjects don't say cliche sentences that have impossible percentage of existing in our days and age.
