About This Quote
The above quote from the movie, “Fight Club” by Chuck Palahniuk shows how a person can use violence and cruelty to feel powerful and to gain respect from others. Violence and cruelty are just a way of making yourself feel powerful and real. They are not a solution to a problem or a way to solve a problem. Though it is easier to use your hands instead of your brain, violence and cruelty will never make you feel powerful. Only logic and reason will give you the kind of power that allows you to make logical and just decisions.
