Monólogo

- What do you feel is more important? To remain shut or to open yourself to others?
- What does it matter? They'll never understand you at all. I believe it's best to keep it to yourself.
- But don't you think that's the fastest way to loneliness?
- What IS loneliness? Being alone? Having no one to talk to? When you have so much people around you who don't give a fuck if you are dying inside or not, it's kinda stupid... I rather be alone than to open myself to others; it keeps me safe from all that can hurt me.
- But... wouldn't you like someone to talk to, to be with, to a have a laugh, even someone you could love...?
- Fuck all that. I've tried, I honestly have. And to tell you the truth, it's good for a while. But then those moments make me bored 'cause they seem bored with me. And I can't stand anyone who's bored with me. I'm not boring, you see, it's only them that don't get me.
- Why must you always put the blame on others? Why don't stop and think that maybe the problem is with you?
- I don't have a problem. Or, perhaps, I have. But I don't give a shit. If people can't stand my problem or problems, I won't stand theirs. Either way, I think that the only person it would be worth spending some time with, would be the one that came to me and not talk about him ou herself; it'd be the one that said to me 'let's sit down and have a talk about what's wrong with you'. If someone comes to me to help me out with what is troubling me, then I'd be glad to be with that person and talk about myself.
You see, the only person I have that I can talk to about me is you. And you are me, so I guess it doesn't count that much.
- But you are talking now...
- Yes, but you already know the answers to the questions you are asking. It's like playing chess against yourself; you can antecipate your opponent's moves, because you're the one who's going to make them. It's a neverending circle that you can't escape from.
- But what's with the whole hostility thing towards people? Don't you think that you are shooting first and asking the questions then, when it should be the other way around?
- Fuck that. I don't care. I'll even tell you more: I think that the whole concept of shooting first and ask then or the other way around as you put it is completely wrong. You should shoot first, don't ask and keep shooting. If someone lives, you shoot it dead. And then you can ask the questions. Or you can always keep shooting until you run out of rounds.
- Live rounds or blanks?
- Fuck blanks. Where's the fun in that?
