“Benjamin was the oldest animal on the farm, and the worst tempered. He seldom talked, and when he did, it was usually to make some cynical remark—for instance, he would say that God had given him a tail to keep the flies off, but that he would sooner have had no tail and no flies.” -George Orwell
[Older people are bristly; likely because they've had experience and can see the probably results of our current follies. Not every cynic is correct, but a cynic is more likely to have some insight into what is going on that the optimist is.]
