There is so much more to be cynical about – that’s why.
All these groups – politicians, corporations, churches, etc., say that they have our best interests in mind, when it is patently obvious that the only interests that they care about are ones that benefit them. Usually, but not always monetarily.
So it’s no wonder that ordinary people have no faith or trust in these institutions or the people who are in them
What’s the old saying? Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me
