"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." - Tyler Durden
My
thoughts this morning were about :
How
possibly in the days of old, violence and gore on the battlefield was common
place, and mere activities like obtaining food (the hunt) were in themselves
fraught with danger. Even if you had a farm, you still had to slaughter and
prepare the chicken / pig / sheep for consumption.
So when
the average peasant got home, his need of rest & relaxation possibly
aspired to ideals more lofty, such as poetry, music, art & sculpture.
Today
however, we lead an emasculated existence and operate within our commercial & societal frameworks with greater decorum and civility, which possibly leads to
a pronounced need to vent. And so we have TV programmes and films that give us
the blood and aggression that we --
perhaps secretly crave ?
