In a nation of frightened dullards there is a sorry shortage of outlaws, and those few who make the grade are always welcome:
by Hunter S. Thompson
(0 Reviews)

In Hunter S. Thompson's "Hell's Angels," he reflects on the state of society, suggesting that it is filled with fear and conformity. He describes a culture where people's lack of boldness and individuality leaves them feeling dull and uninspired. This environment leads to a scarcity of genuine rebels who defy societal norms and embrace their own paths.

Thompson conveys a sense of admiration for those few outlaws who manage to stand out in such a climate. Their presence is not only needed but celebrated, as they represent freedom, adventure, and a break from the mundane. Through his observations, Thompson underscores the importance of challenging the status quo and the value of those who choose to live authentically, regardless of societal expectations.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.
