Do you feel bored?


"People had been working for so many years to make the world a safe, organized place. Nobody realized how boring it would become. With the whole world property-lined and speed-limited and zoned and taxed and regulated, with evryone tested and registered and addressed and recorded. Nobody had left much room for adventure, except maybe the kind you could buy. On a roller coaster. At a movie. Still, it would always be that kind of faux excitement. You know the dinossaurs aren't going to eat the kids. The test audiences have outvoted any chance of even a major faux disaster. And because there's no possibility of real disaster, real risk, we're left with no chance for real salvation. Real elation. Real excitement. Joy. Discovery. Invention.
The laws that keep us safe, these same laws condemn us to boredom."

(Chuck Palahniuk - Choke)

Quando digo às pessoas que quebrei o tornozelo porque caí de uma árvore, elas riem. Não é para rir. É para chorar... Quem, hoje em dia, ainda sobe em árvores?

Perhaps that's my own true and personal search for real excitement!
