Wanting a tragedy

[GodsOneMistake]

Hoping for something exciting in your life usually denotes that its currently very boring. Dont stand around and wait for things to happen, get out more and do things. Refusal to do so just makes you lazy and boring. Thats just my guess though.

Ya get out there and get the shit kicked out of you, and once you wake up 15 years later from the coma remember to tell the police xmet told you to do it XP

Am I the only person who has ever wanted something bad, I mean really bad like getting brutally attacked and being in a coma for years to happen to yourself just so you can get revenge. It would make you seem dark, mysterious etc. I would like to be seen that way, but not as a thug. Does anyone else ever feel this way?

One problem of course is you won't be some badass dark brooding hero, you'll be a coma patient who will need months and months of therapy (possibly years) to learn to use there body again and relarn basic skills such as eating your food, talking properly and tying your shoelace ,you'll also likely have suffered damage to your body from years of inactivity (i.e you'll be little more then skin and muscle) from which you may never recover from your certainly never likely to be as strong as you were before the accident, you will also never get revenge on the thug who did it, because he'll be long gone by the time you come out of it, and even if by chance you find him he's just going to kick your ass again like he did before.

So yeah I think personally it would suck.

I just used that as an example. It could be you being kidanaped, or your family being killed.

I know this may soumd stupid but seeing terrible things happen to people in games, tv, books etc and then they get revenge or it changes them in a way is something that appeals to me. Examples include Dexter, The Punisher, Oldboy etc.

Yeah, but those are movies.
I understand the whole "dish best served cold" adrenaline shot ya get from watching them.
But it never works out in real life.

You're a little strange. I do sometimes think that if someone who hated me brought a gun to school in order to shoot me ever did. I would say something badass. Like "do it..pussy" so then everyone would be like. Man that guy is hardcore!

I just used that as an example. It could be you being kidnapped, or your family being killed.

Wouldn't both of those also leave you traumatised and probably give you psychological issues to boot, there are in fact hardly any tragic events I can think of that would make you a badass hero, as opposed to making you a traumatised individual who people would take pity on. If you really want to be dark and mysterious buy a leather trenchcoat, army bottoms and shades, then just walk around towns talking into your ear, you'll either come across as cool or idiotic.

I kind of want to be traumatised, become insanely obsest with vengence.

I used to dream of a post apocolyptic future where the world is nothing more then a battered husk of what it is now and the best way to survive is to be god at one thing, Killing.

I often imagined myself as the badass wanderer type.

But then I grew up.

I still dream about it, but then I realise how much it would suck at the same time.

 

[Deleric]

I'd probably like a tragedy that can be made into a movie. Without me dying, of course.

[Skeleon]

What's a tradgadie?
Anyway, I'm not masochistic in nature.
I'm very pragmatic and I don't care about stuff like acting deep or mysterious when clearly I'm not.
Where's my beer, by the way?

Sorry about the bad spelling.

 

[Marcus Attell]

I personally think that there is enough tragedy in this world without wishing it upon yourself or someone else.

Unless of course, it is deserved. XD

 

[Skeleon]

Sorry about the bad spelling.

Not an issue, I'm just pulling your leg.
These forums are known for their hostility towards mistakes (and people who make them), both grammar and spelling.

 

[Mr Claw Hammer]

I've noticed, I am trying to be careful.

I understand the logic train behind this thing but no, I've never wanted anything terrible to happen to me, regardless of potentially badass results.

While 'man burns down drug den after spouse murdered' might be an awesome headline and one I'd certainly read, I'd hate to be the dude who has to live with himself afterward. A lot of superheroes who fixate on that kind of thing are well documented when it comes to the kind of mental trauma they experience either pursuing or achieving their goal.

I suppose yes, I do want something to happen to me to provoke a radical change in my life, but I suppose that is common fantasy... have my book picked up and become a bestseller, win the lottery or whatever, but to have something important to me stripped away to achieve that end... I don't know, I'd take mediocrity any time.

And considering I've explained some of the things I've gone through in my life and had all kinds of "Oh my god how did you even survive that?" or "I don't know how you could cope with that stuff" pretty often repeated, and I still feel this way, I think it's a pretty solid sign that most tragedy doesn't bring uplift. I imagine more people are broken than empowered this way.

 

[Laura.]

Nope!
And if something like that happens, you will later wish it hadn't.

Sometimes I want the bad thing to happen, I get revenge then suicide. I don't want to get revenge then prowl the streets like an anti-hero.

I think..Wait..This is stupid.
Do you think the people who go out for revenge feel badass and so forth, instead of just horribly angry and screwed-up?

I kind of want that feeling of horible anger and being screwed-up. Though I know if I did feel that way I would not want it.

Mm. Think about it. If somebody killed your girlfriend, would you rather have her back, or revel in your anger and kill people?No-brainer.
Reminds me of The Darkness..

I would choose my girlfriend (if I had one), but I just king of want that tortured soul type thing.
