I'm not going to lie;
I'm not the most fulfilled human being on this planet, and yeah, cool, I know that.

But do you not think you're going a bit overkill/overboard/over-the-top with this concept?
I mean, from the way you've worded things, you just seem like you've read fight club straight from the womb without giving thought to anything besides how "grey" or "empty" you are.

Come on!
You're fifteen.

Sure, you may think you know a thing or two about life because you think money is the devil and you'll ascend this hollow existance if you don't buy shit and criticise the ideas of capitalism and such, damning those you find ignorant and stepping on their backs to somewhere worth while.

But I can't really see this happening.
Like another poster pointed out:

You're on the computer, you have internet, you've read fight club which means you have access to literature and the like. Not to mention you're jumping through as any hoops as any one of us with school and the like...

So no, your point is generic, bland and a god-awful attempt at being Tyler Durden.

Thank you.
Good night.

Edit: Eh, I have to make sort of a disclaimer now.
I need to make the point of saying I don't think I know what's what, or all the answers. I just felt I'd be vocal on my opinions of this young man. Again, thank you.

Am I the only one that finds it amusing that the above "anti-grey" rant was by somebody called YellowRedBlue?

I think he's feeling something perfectly valid. He probably should do something that scares him every day. Unless that's drugs which will only make life greyer and greyer. Well, if they're the wrong drugs at least.

Perhaps I'm only saying that because I felt like that when I was 15. Except now I'm greying up too and I'm only 3 years older.

Some of those suggestions might be helpful to me.

Well, if you gave us your personal issues as to why you felt how you do, maybe I could help you out.

Until then, I'll assume you're a carbon-copy of Tim here (if not Tim himself) and tell you to find my first post in this thread.

[QUOTE=the midas touch;1017410]You're too young to have such emotions. Play Grand Theft Auto more.[/QUOTE]

Exactly what i was doing aged 15.

Aged 13(ish) Grand Theft Auto was without doubt the coolest thing of all time. Was that really over eight years ago for me? Amazing.

[QUOTE=alexander_thorul;1018299]But here you forget my antonym, my dear santa.exists! How could you forget that vile knave who stepped forward in my moment of grammatical and literary passion, during a time when I was peaking in predicates coupling with subjects and the rise of my rhetoric was in a rhythm akin to that of the Petrarchan sonnet, and now I'm plagued by thoughts of pasta and blank verse and the fear that a haiku lurks around each corner of conquest to fight my epic poem, and this haiku is so short and it has no rhyme and it claims only reason and its name will be xec8 and its subject will be you, santa.exists, and it will be flowery, no doubt, despite the restrictions intended on its form, and it will play to vague and general compliments out of the absence of acquaintance, and it will destroy and kill consonance, which I have hoped to constantly implement, and my day will end a bleaker day than before you, with your grammatical needs and your grammatical wants, came galloping on a sprung rhythm to steal away the onomatopoeia of my heart. Sadness grips me, and I fall to my knees to learn at the lap of listlessness - Tim, be my guide in this time of dire and desperate disorientation.[/QUOTE]
I never realised there was a reference to me in this.

Well personaly,

Yeah, this kind of thoughts Are typicall of a teenager, but I'd rather have a teenager that thinks about this and talks to people about it than some kid who is so full of the TV crap, or crack, or scars, he doesn't even Think about this things

And personally, I think doing something scary every day (or at least once in a while) is actually pretty good, cuz you start being able to do and enjoy a lot of things you'd me missing out on.

Still, the rest of the suggestions.... well, I believe that life IS how you take it, not how you make it. Most of the time, you can't control what happens in life, but you Can try to understand it, fully comprehend it, and having the best view point you can for that situation....

As to What i want to do with my life, i want to feel light, and free, and wise, and strong. I want to surpass pain and suffering (not avoid it) ; to learn without limits (and not necessarily what you can learn in college) ; to love the reality I build (and i'm not just talking about results, but about how i see, and how i react to what happens)

 

Sure, humanity has a lot to learn, and so do you, and so do I.

But humanity also has a lot of good things, and -depending on what you do-, you can have a lot of great feelings, feelings of accordance with yourself, of doing what you think and feel is right, of letting go of grudges......

Humans are the only beings I know of that have Intention, that is, that can do what they want with their lifes, with the world, with their relationships. I think that is fucking awesome, and if you just see the gray, it probably has something to do with the shade of your glasses.

 

So maybe next time, you can try to see that even though there's a lot of gray out there, there's also a lot of Silver lights shining inside.

 

Okey... rambled long enough....
