Yo, Ken.
I love the post, it was fun. I read stats like that and I don't want to fit into any of them. If this makes sense, I always cringe at the thought of being like everyone else even though I know, rationally, that Tyler Durden was right, and I am assuredly NOT a unique and beautiful snowflake.
If i do not change things -and this goes all of us unfortunate enough to be alcoholics - being a drinker makes me part of a larger crowd. I will one day become one of millions who have been destroyed by alcohol.
"Dehumanized" is a perfect word. We are all smushed down into categories and data and points of interest and statistical entries and cross-sections inside analytical matrices based on what we "like" on Facebook. Well, buddy, he only categories I feel comfortable in are "dad," "husband," and "sober..I dunno...dude."
And we can do that. We can all be sober. They can keep their categories. I don't want them.
Great post. Gives me something to think about today. Cheers, friend!
