They say you only live once but if you read, every book you read is a new life you experience during your own life time. During the years, I've come in contact with all kinds of "disturbing" material. I've watched all kinds of surgery being performed, street fights, war footage, murder in cold blood, snuff movies, zoophilia, etc. And I think it all has enriched my understanding of how the world really works.

In the end, the more you filter what you see, the more you alienate yourself from the world. And with alienation comes the feeling of helplessness.
