There was a
scene in fight club that suddenly came to my mind. The scene was absolutely
genius and I would love to do it to someone in real life. The scene was
disturbing but so good. Tyler Durden dragged the convenience store owner
out, beat the shit out of him, and put a gun to his head. He asked the man
what he had wanted to do in his life. Then he asked him if he had done it.
When the man said no, Tyler took his wallet, told him to go and do what
he always wanted to in life. As the store owner ran away in terror Tyler
said, "...tomorrow will be the most beautiful day of your life. Your
breakfast is going to taste better than any meal you've ever eaten."
I wish I could do that to some people who say their lives suck. I don't mean
to sound hypocritical as I was once suicidal, but I've learned so much since
then. My life still sucks. The odds are against me; hell everything in my
life is against me, but it's the only life I have. It may sound morbid for
me to say I wouldn't care if I died tonight, but it's not. It's only that
I have no regrets that I can't forget. Life is too short to be taken seriously
or lives in the past. We all have shitting pasts in one way or another.
It does make me sad to see these people saying they want to die. They are
the ones I would love to slam down on their knees and say, "I'm going to
kill you in about two minutes. Now tell me, how are you feeling right now?
What are you thinking?" Of course I've not the mind or spirit to kill
them, but it would make them think. One time, I was like that. I was talking
to someone and I said I wanted to kill myself and to this her response was,
"then why don't you?" It was this point I turned my own thoughts against
me and changed my point of view. This is not so much a bleeding heart sob
story as it is more a stupid rant and a semi-message to those so eager to
die to say: why don't you just go kill yourself then?
