Imagine you have a friend,
who wakes up every morning,
usually at a reasonable hour,
something like 8:30 am
And immediately begins to whack himself over the head with a hammer.
// ===========================================================================
Imagine you have a friend,
who around 1pm, after he has lunch,
fills up a fuel can,
and begins to drink it
// ==================== ==================== ==================== =============
Obviously, these two Acts are Bad. But why? Because they Produce Outcomes any reasonable person would disagree with.
// ===========================================================================
Now their response is simple.
It feels good!
It tastes good!
It makes me feel *incredible.
// ==================== ==================== ==================== =============
But friend, is there never a case where too much pleasure is a bad thing?
Even the body knows that water in the right amount,
can hydrate
but too much can drown a man from the inside?
// ==================== ==================== ==================== =============
So we know clearly then that hitting ourselves with a hammer is a Bad thing,
why though?
Because it produces outcomes you do not desire.
Like your skull broken,
Like loss of blood,
and your eventual Death.
// ==================== ==================== ==================== =============
But what must we do, to convince you that the Good is also Producing the Bad.
That too much sugar can set you aflame, similar to Fire
That too much Drugs can weaken you, like a Poison
// ==================== ==================== ==================== =============
With science came understanding.
And we now know the addiction cycle itself is a Bad Outcome,
wherein we become dependant on a drug,
that circumvents the normal “Seeking” of the Mind
and simply Dopes you up to believe you have Found,
when in fact you were just sitting on your Couch…
// ==================== ==================== ==================== =============
Is life then not a matter of Pleasure?
If this substance can give us everything we ever needed on an Individual Level,
then am I not Found?
// ==================== ==================== ==================== =============
It is for you to decide what kind of a life you want.
But with the Pleasure comes the Pain.
And it would be fine to be in a High Forever (who would refuse)
But the Body doesn’t work like that.
Eventually you will need more and more just to be at a Baseline,
Eventually the Drug will stop working.
And the Pain won’t go Away. No drug will make it go away Permanently…
// ==================== ==================== ==================== =============
Stepping out a bit, we realize that what if Life has a meaning. What if we are meant to do something outside of only ourselves.
Sitting on our couches, doped up, does nothing for anyone else.
Look at the Beauty of Life on this Planet.
You could contribute.
But instead, sitting alone, being Doped Up on whatever,
does nothing for anyone,
and leads you down a cycle of only that which you see, and put Energy into,
becoming your Everything…
