Is It Worth It?
The modern world has brought humanity many luxuries, such as better food, more entertainment, etc., but, is it worth it? Are all these luxuries worth the early mornings? The late nights? The sleepless nights? The a**hat bosses? The stress-related mental illness? The emotional disconnect? The high divorce rates? The generally debilitating stress? Take the example of Ed Norton in Fight Club. He had a cozy little apartment stocked with the latest IKEA stuff, but he was a broken, sleepless man, doing a job he hated for a man he hated even more. There are millions upon millions of people just like him in real life.
Are all these modern luxuries worth killing ourselves over? Just Google "chinese knife attacks" to see what all this modern-life stress is doing to people there.

God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy **** we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off." - Tyler Durden Last edited by Tsyal Makto; 05-26-2010 at 02:15 AM.
