"How can anyone be cynical?"

Rating: Null/10 (24 September 2001)

Week before Christmas, 1999. I was 21, lacking a love life, and awaiting the Y2K virus to destroy us all.
My family was watching It's A Wonderful Life, my favorite movie. George had just found Zuzu's petals and I, right on cue, was crying. My brother, ever the critic of my lack of faith in humanity, turned to me and said quietly, "How can anyone be cynical after watching this movie?"
And you know what? I still can't answer that.
