"I see in Fight Club, the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential. And, I see squandering. God damn it! An entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables: slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing car and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man--no purpose or place. We have no great war. No great depression. Our great war's a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars . . . but we won't. We're slowly learning that fact and we're very, very pissed off."

Our war is truely a spiritual one. That is of course if you are one of us. For fight club to apply you must first be a male, second you must be young (under thirty, over twenty), and you've probably got to be single, or at least able to be dedicated above all other connections. You also have to be angry, actually beyond anger you must be fed-up.
When I watch that movie I think I must somehow take my squandered potential, and the anger that comes out of it my ambitions, and focus on some project or another. Mayhem helps, destruction of public goods helps, destruction of self helps...
It doesn't have to be public destruction, that was just their choice. What it does have to be is personal. Thats what makes it spiritual: that's what makes it worth fighting...
