This should be a lesson for adolescents who wonder why people tend to get less and less "edgy" as they grow up.
Just takes one moment of too much edge to lose the gamble and end up throwing everything away.
- seph-reed 7y agoI think the adolescents might be on to something with that. I tend to do a good job of keeping my unpopular opinions between me and close friends, but I can't say I'm thrilled with the dependency on nepotism that's creeping into my life. Perhaps being edgy is the best way to force oneself into self reliance, and self reliance being the best way to hold ground against corruption... maybe the edgelessness of "adults" is just a sign of forfeit within a corrupt system.
- perl4ever 7y agoBeing "edgy" is a symptom of still having a mindset that there are railings between you and the abyss, and/or someone whose purpose in life is to tackle you before you go over the "edge". Believing that you can avoid it in the long run, while fearing you're not an adult if you stay where it's safe.
