>Valid criticism of Cynicism?
That society was naturally developed alongside man, so departing or leaving all and not merely some aspects of it is an inherently hypocritical stance to take if the want is to return to the natural state of man/virtue is truly natural. Man and society are one, and so both are natural in that sense.

Quite a contrast from the dogs I know, that I should know to speak and write and formulate thoughts that convey to you my belief that I am more than dog, dog.
