"ساخر: شخص سيء الرؤية يرى الأشياء كما هي وليس كما ينبغي أن تكون"
— Ambrose Bierce

Simplified Meaning:
A cynic is someone who always expects the worst and sees the flaws in everything. Instead of viewing situations with hope and optimism, they focus on what’s wrong. Imagine you’re showing a friend your new drawing. Instead of complimenting your effort, a cynic would point out every small mistake. While others might appreciate the good parts and give constructive feedback, a cynic overlooks what could be and fixates on the negatives. This kind of outlook can make life feel more bleak and discourage positive thinking. To apply this to your life, try to balance realism with optimism; acknowledge imperfections but also recognize and strive for potential and improvement.
