do we need a fight club?

"Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables-slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. 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. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off." - fight club.

its scary ... in a weird unexplainable manner i cud relate to this movie ... while my friends screwed and unscrewed their faces at all the blood and gore ... i found myself fascinated ,even riveted ... the violence was to me more symbolic than physical ... well... the movie got me thinking ... so much so tht i started the book ...

"We are the middle children of history.. no purpose or place" ... rebels ... without a cause ... sucked into accepting the everyday muck ...
at times so angry within ... so angry tht the unavailabilty of a gun is the only reason the next guy is alive ...
at times so despondent ... at others so indifferent ...
with the anger and frustration piling in ... without really knowing why or directed at wht ....
