Quote: Pariah said: Self improvement is masturbation.
Self destruction is the answer.
Self destruction can be as mundane as not eating correctly or working a job that leaves you no time for your family or for any kind of personal life. Everyone has self destructive tendencies.
Blatant self destructive behaviour is often a sign that a person is unhappy or has psychological problems. In some cases it can just be vulgar exhibitionism and attention seeking. Like the girl who would periodically turn up at one of my friend’s homes, having taken an overdose. In the end we all hoped that she would die and get it over with. The trouble with people like that is that they always want to pull others down with them.
Self improvement is heroic because there’ll always be more forces dragging you in the opposite direction. It require intelligence, imagination, motivation and stamina.
