Allie brought up Marcus Luttrell the other day, recounting some horrifying story of the former SEAL team member who survived the worst battle loss in SEAL's history. It intrigued me and I bought his book Lone Survivor. His ordeal was truly amazing, and it really gave me a new perspective on life and friendship. I recommend it to all.
Up to this point of my life I have never finished a book in one sitting. Up to this point of my life I have cared most about my own satisfaction. Those who did not meet my criteria in anything are speedily cast out, put off to a lower tier on my priority list. Up to this point of my life, I considered work to be my sanctuary, I take great pride in what I do therefore no one can be more important than that. I take on desire and greed as part of my soul, and did not care who I disappoint or hurt, as long as I serve my purpose. "Survival of the fittest." we're often taught, if not told. As long as my goal gets achieved, consequences do not matter. This book completely shattered my value system, I enjoyed this book very much and at least for me, life changing. A Big Big thanks to Vivien, who recommended me this book just out of the blue, while I was browsing through advertising award annuals.
