Quoted from the new south park episode.
For those who havn't seen it, its about growing up and becoming a cynical bastard.
Ummm, it describes me perfectly 
Can we regain our joy for life?
Have you become cynical or are you as happy now as you were as a child when everything seemed good?

I have become cynical about human beings because I've learned that most of them are selfish assholes.
I've never really had a joy for life.  I've always felt that I was forced into this life- and not because I wanted to be.

I don't have the same kind of happiness as I did when I was a kid, although much of it is still just as intense. The kind of happiness thagt I feel now is more stable and resistant though. I wouldn't trade it. And, to answer your question, I think it is possible to overcome cynism. At least most of it. But first you have to actually have the right motivation and to feel like you have to gain more from the lack of it.

I still manage to find joy in life. I get a lot of pleasure out of reading and hiking and going to festivals. But one thing I've gotten quite cynical about is work. I'm becoming more and more skeptical that I'll ever find a job I enjoy. At some point in my life, I need to find a way out of the rat race. Oh well. At least my current job isn't as bad as my last one.

Well. I'm certainly not an asshole. We are all selfish to the degree that we need to be. I try to give back for all that I receive though. I like to keep an even keel.
But selfish to the point of using people and then forgetting them? Or stealing from them? Or any number of other examples I could mention? No.

Do you think that, no matter the circumstance, you still wouldn't use someone or steal?

That is a little vague. But no, I don't think that I would.
I have stolen in the past from big supermarkets. Never from a person and definitely never something sentimental. But I don't think that I would do this again unless the only other option was death. (Once again, your question was very vague.)

That episode was pretty good. One of the best of this series so far, which has been pretty crappy, really.

Get baked in the sun - take that however you want. Don't rely on society to be happy.

People work in big supermarkets. Employees are responsible for the stuff that's missing and probably have to pay for it from their own income. Some might even get fired. Every action breaks down to people, and sentimental meaning is so subjective that it's impossible to determine how someone else would feel about something. I guess my point is that: don't fool yourself that just because you stole from supermarkets it's slightly better than stealing from someone directly, though I can see how you can live with the impression that, since it feels more impersonal, it's not as bad. I asked you those questions because, from my own perspective, I have seen a strong correlation between the way one judges people and the level of happiness they feel. I know that when I tend to think that people are assholes I can't feel happy as much as I feel when I choose to not judge someone, when, obviously, I don't know squat about who they are and what brought them to exhibit a certain behaviour.

Yep. I think the whole theme about stuff you used to like starting to look like shit applies most to Adam Sandler movies for me. I used to love his movies when I was growing up. Now it really does seem like he shits all over everyone.

Well, some of that is true enough. But minimum wage Jill and Johnny don't have to pay for the sandwich I stole. It'll show up on some Loss Prevention report in the corporate offices, and they'll brainstorm on how to prevent theft in the future.  Look at that. I just created jobs for people. Plus now Loss Prevention's day won't be so boring.
Though I clearly stated that these were PAST actions.
