The above quote was said by Jimi Hendrix before his untimely death. If you don't know who Jimi Hendrix is, then get out from under your rock and go do a quick google search of him. Listen to some of his music, while you're at it.
Who Hendrix was is beside the point, though. I agree with this quote, but I think it's a bit off. While yes, you should live your life how you wish to live it since you're the one who has to die for your actions in the end... you should only live how you wish as long as you aren't bringing harm to others through your actions. Being alive does NOT give you the right to screw about with the lives of others. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that you can do whatever you please, so long as it doesn't involve or affect others (in a way that is negative or unwanted to them). As long as you aren't actively hurting others, what you do with your life is up to you. Don't harm others and don't harm the world you live in, those are kind of my guidelines for life. If you wish to be self-destructive... well, that's on you. You ARE the one dying for your actions and today's culture seems to be centered on self-destruction and self-created tragedy. There's nothing that can be done to stop someone from doing things to themselves. In fact, this almost ties in with a quote I've written on previously- you can't help someone who doesn't want help. And just as you can't help someone who doesn't want help; you can't save someone who does not wish to be saved- particularly from themselves, and particularly when they see purpose in the harm they are doing. It's a sad but true fact of life. Live your life as you please. But think before taking action, because every action has a consequence... some things cannot be fixed, just as words can't be taken back after they've left your mouth. You're dying for your own existence. Don't allow it to be miserable. - Maddie
