David T Wolf: Idealism is what precedes experience; cynicism is what follows..

Cynicism can manifest itself by frustration, disillusionment and distrust in regard to organizations, authorities and other aspects of society, often due to previous bad experience. Cynics often view others as motivated solely by disguised self-interest
contempt for the opinions of others and of what others value
{i} pessimism, misanthropy, suspiciousness, sarcasm, contempt

Cynics rejected conventional ideas of morality and the good life, arguing that the only good is that which is rational (and therefore virtuous) Most cynics also rejected private property, marriage and the State The modern word "cynic" derives from this school, but the meaning has changed, so that nowadays a cynic is simply someone who has no ideals, and doesn't believe other people do either
