User talk:DespairsXe

DespairsXe is an idea I created to show my distaste for the straight edge movement. When I found myself lost in my life, I thought about turning to the clean living lifestyle of Straight Edge. However, I found this lifestyle to be nothing more than a form of anarachist religion, in that it did nothing more than provide an idea, not guidance. As a result of this lack of knowledge and guidance, I found myself even more depressed and lost than I did before. In response to my sudden change of humanity, I created the idea of despairsXe. As a straight edge follower, despair often comes with it. When the hardships and tribulations of life, no matter how inane, begin to wear on you, you begin looking for an answer. The average man cannot find this answer in the for of a singular idea or movement, but he can find a solution in other, for lack of a better word, "dirty" lifestyle choices. While many may not agree with these choices, it is noone's choice but the individual. In lieu of moping around and being miserable, I choose to enhance my life with mind altering substances. Now, the debate still goes on about whether or not this was a wise choice, but I am not happy with my life, where before I was simply falsifying my happiness to justify my lifestyle. Straight Edge is not bad at all. In fact, I support it. I believe that youth need ideas to get behind while they feel that those ideas matter. Straight Edge is nothing more than a youthful idea that you can life your life completly happy without any assistance. I have yet to meet the man who has never had a problem he couldn't handle, yet I have met plenty of miserable men who have never had a drink or smoked a cigarette. The fact is, these things help us to cope with adversity in our lives. In summation, despairsXe represents how I felt at the time I decided that straight edge wasn't for me. More power to you if you are edge, but I suppose I am just too weak.
