Cynicism (Greek Kυνισμός) was originally the philosophy of a group of ancient Greeks called the Cynics, founded by Antisthenes.
Currently, the word 'cynicism' generally describes the opinions of those who maintain that self-interest is the primary motive of human behavior, and are disinclined to rely upon sincerity, human virtue, or altruism as motivations.[1] [May 2007]
