Of Fighting The Monster

"Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
  -Friedrich Nietzsche

Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster.
I think I may have gained a little understanding on what Nietzsche was saying ..
These days, I am battling with so many monsters, I am in danger of becoming one ..

On the train this morning .. feeling erratic and pissed at the lack of sleep, the fucked up work and everything else .. it was easy to think about being snappy and mean to people who are mean and snappy to me.
Until it dawned on me .. "Then, what's the difference between them and me?"

Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster.
I need to get out of this shit hole.

One of your strengths is that you are able to think calmly even you are pretty angry. Being a monster like them, you probably don't like yourself.
