Essay: "On the Edge"Most people living on this side of the fence don't know what living on the edge really is...That is simply because most of us has always been on the Edge of EVERYTHING ... Being on the Edge = is mostly a state of mentality about your supposed stress level.... Right? Well, if your every day life is total high stress always on the line of fire, then what's edgy about that? NOTHING...it become normal...Example: Does anyone think that a soldier, after being on the line in Iraq for a year will come home and be upset with the crime rate...or the price of eggs...No...At least not until they become acclimated to the current surroundings. All in all, my point is, what's an edge? For me, now it's about gambling on sports, dominoes, cards, etc. Beating the watchful eyes of the officers for extra food, getting clipper shaves without a shave pass, and all while remaining almost invisible to the officers. To some that may not sound like being out on the edge, but that's only because its my edge not yours. |
