cynical-ism
One of those --ism's that can't be avoided. Now, listen.
-------
Excuse me, miss? You - the one there on the telephone. The one whose trying to get through to China or Japan. Yeah, that conversation isn't going anywhere. Can you please just hang up. I'm sick of having to hear you think. Thanks.
Oh, and you - the one there with the knife. Dear heavens, put that damned thing down! Don't you know what happens when you pick those things up? People could get seriously hurt - especially the little children over there in the corner. C'mon man, grow some common sense. Put that thing back in the drawer and don't think about getting it out again. Seriously.
Wait sir, you there with the roses - we need to have some words. You don't really get it, don't understand - do you? You think it's a game, just like everyone else does. You think all you have to do is look good and be kind for a little while, don't you? You're thinking it'll all be sunshine and daisies - aren't you? Well sir, not only are you confused and dillusional - but you are wrong too. Please, get a reality check on your way out of the building.
And as for the rest of you, stop staring. Just get your purses and backpacks and valuables - and go on your way. There's nothing to watch now. The demoralization of the young is over and the mourning for the old and dead hasn't come yet. So really, don't stop and wait here. Everything will be fine on this side of the room. Just get your train tickets and get on your trains and go to wherever you are going to go. No need to pause or miss your train or even think that you could do something over there. You couldn't.
In short, you're done, the whole lot of you. Go ahead and kick yourself because you've ruined things for yourself. Or don't. Either way you just have to realize that you don't have any say here. You have no rights. Anything you say can - no, will be used against you. You don't have any liberties or any way out this time. You're screwed, going to be locked away in the sad little dungeon of your own existene. Sorry - but have a nice day anyway.
