Cynism
So, I was reading a short topic about the cynicism, and I figured out that cynicism was actually created in a medieval times something like the hippies and punks, in another words Diógenis created this filosofia, he lived like a homeless with him dog, being free about the civilization laws, so my question: why today be cynical it's like be shameless or someone who doesn't care about the others people felling, someone who it's a lie. Why it change? Why today it's a word so pejorative?

And to answer the question, I think it has become pejorative because it shows a lack of status and success in a career.
