if this is your first night, you have to fight

Okay, I mentioned this before...but I absolutely LOVE the fight club.  This is why:

And you open the door and you step inside
We're inside our hearts
Now imagine your pain is a white ball of healing light
That's right
Your pain
The pain itself is a white ball of healing light

I don't think so

This is your life
Good to the last drop
Doesn't get any better than this
This is your life
And it's ending one minute at a time

This isn't a seminar
This isn't a weekend retreat
Where you are now
You can't even imagine what the bottom will be like

Only after disaster can we be resurrected
It's only after that you have lost everything
That you are free to do anything

Nothing is static
Everything is falling
Everything is falling apart

This is your life
This is your life
This is your life
This is your life
Doesn't get any better than this
This is your life
This is your life
This is your life
This is your life
And it's ending one minute at a time

You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake
You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else
We are all part of the same compost heap
We are the all-singing all-dancing crap of the world
You are not your bank account
You are not the clothes you wear
You are not the contents of your wallet
You are not your bowel cancer
You are not your Grande Latte
You are not the car you drive
You are not your * khakis

You have to give up
You have to give up
You have to realize that someday you'll die
Until you know that
You are useless

I say, "Let me never be complete"
I say, "May I never be content"
I say, "Deliver me from Swedish furniture"
I say, "Deliver me from clever art"
I say, "Deliver me from clear skin and perfect teeth"
I say, "You have to give up"
I say, "Evolve and let the chips fall where they may"

This is your life
This is your life
This is your life
This is your life
Doesn't get any better than this
This is your life
This is your life
This is your life
This is your life
And it's ending one minute at a time

You have to give up
You have to give up
(I want you to hit me as hard as you can)
(I want you to hit me as hard as you can)

Welcome to Fight Club
If this is your first night
You have to fight

as salaamu alaykum,

I saw this movie recently.. I found it very interesting.. especially the idea that our society deprives people of their sense of humanity.. that we are so lost in the sick cycle of consumerism and materialism that we are devoid of any sense of being men and women..

So what is the solution?  How does one break out of the cycle?  Or is that even possible living in the west? ???

you stop feeling sorry for the lamp...IKEA has many MANY more.

lol..couldn't resist.  Oh come on!!!!!!! Someone must have seen that ad?

As for Fight Club, Tyler Durden is my hero.  What's great is that there's a Tyler in all of us.  A part of us who knows everything, and who knows the truth, but who needs to be controlled by our submissive selves.  Given half the chance, the Tyler could destruct us, while forming a malicious social network who forgot diplomacy in the quest for truth, and hence destroyed so much good in the world.  What am I saying?  bahhh...no idea.

Wasalaam.
