The Edge

"so you just want to take the edge off; one beer, one joint, one teeny weeny Prozac". I think the authors point of view for "The Edge is Where I Want to Be" is that she wants people to live on the edge. In the quote above the author is writing about how people are taking the edge off there life and drink and take drugs while there life is depressing. She doesn't want people to live a boring dull life, "and what's life without an edge? guess what, it's DULL". She doesn't want everyone taking off the edge because then all you'll have is the middle. While in the middle nobody has individuality, "and eat and act and dress and think alike and see the same movies so they can have the same conversations and then dream the same dreams if they dream at all", and everyone will be the same safe and predictable person as everyone else . When your on the edge you never know what people are going to say or do or act. Everyone is different and has a different mind, nobody thinks alike. There are know disguises and the game's not rigged so get out of your comfort zone and deal with it! "and for all you're worth run don't walk to the edge".
