Tyler Durden's universal truth

I am sorry to be the bearer of the truth, but...

"You are not special. You’re not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You’re the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We’re all part of the same compost heap. We’re the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world."

    - written by Chuck Palahniuk and said by his literary character Tyler Durden in Fight Club,1996

I see this oration as an aphorism which makes me feel that I am part of one world and we are universally small and need to be together. I am not a pessimist, I am an optimist and a realist. 

Our world is full of people who's pain is real, but it is not unique because we are all the same and we all struggle. There is always someone who knows your pain. They even feel your pain. 

I feel it and I can no longer watch the news. 

We are all tiny humans who deal with that unity in different ways. Some people are self-important. We compete and that's imperative. But our competition should be the biggest inside of us. To be the best version of we, of you and me... Us human beings are insignificant unless we help others!  

There are many right ways to be a unifying force of nature, but so many people are too busy making divisions. They do that because being one with world is scary and they are just not there yet.

If my quote and my words offend you and on the surface you think I am telling you that you suck, that's not the because I am speaking the truth. Let's evolve together and have meaningful conversations which other people have had before. Let's accept that we are not unique and come together.  - Nancella aka Nancy Ribak Altadonna, SorryBusyTakeCare 

So... back to the quote... my inspiration for this blog came from a blog published in The Guardian (Dec. 2017) by Sam Jordison, a co-director of Galley Beggar Press and the co-editor of the Crap Towns series of books.

Writer Hannibal Bateman interpreted the speech of Tyler Durden: "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."
