Mike Tyson's Merry Christmas Message: "My life sucks"
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/allnews/tm_objectid=15002638%26method=full%26siteid=50143%26headline=tyson--dying-can-t-be-as-bad-as-living-name_page.html

THE last time I'd met Tyson was more than a year ago, after Frank Bruno was taken to hospital to help him deal with his own demons. Tyson says he cried for his old foe at the time and is glad when I tell him Frank is on the mend.

"That makes me happy," he says. "The worst thing that can happen to you is for you to lose your mental powers, especially when you've got a wife and kids."

And he should know. Muttering something about a boxer's biggest fight coming after he leaves the ring, Tyson then comes over all philosophical.

"Dying can't be as bad as living," he muses. "There's no way that dying can be as bad as living. But while you're living you have to live. "I don't know what I'm doing. I just live, I guess, get some food. But I don't cook. I go to restaurants every night." Asked how he fills his days, he replies: "I don't do anything. My life sucks."

1. Maybe he's growing up
Maybe he's learning that life is what you make it.

Maybe he ate a bad ear and had some indigestion during the interview.

5. Aww, the serial rape and cannibalism thing isn't doing it for ya anymore?
Too bad nobody cares enough about him to get him some help.

6. There is no meaning to life other than what we make of it
But if we make nothing of it then it is a hell. Tyson has always been lead in his life. With nothing for anyone to gain from him anylonger no one is there to lead him. He is left to his own empty path. He has truly been abused by the system and is the ultimate victim.
