Addiction?

Heads up, today I'm going to be sharing my views on a sensitive issue.

Hello all, The Earthian here.

So, we all know that, today, drug is a major issue. People, even kids get addicted to various forms and kinds of drugs that are available on the market.

Now, before I go in any further, I have a question. The question is, Is a person addicted to drugs? Or is a person addicted to the happiness that comes out of it? You can even tweak the question a little and ask what does a person seek, when he does drugs?

To answer, widely speaking, he does drugs to try and forget incidents that took place in his life and tries to cover it up with "bliss" with of course drugs. This of course is to put it plainly. There are several more reasons to why one does drugs. This is just one of them.

See, his goal, which is, to become happy is agreeable. After all, happiness is what life is all about. But the path he takes, is really not.

Every drug addict, at some point was just a beginner. He would definitely have thought that he could quit it anytime he wants. So, what he does is he continues taking drugs, subconsciously believing that he could get over it, but unconsciously failing to realize that it's him that's being controlled by it and not the other way around. It is quite sad to hear.

At some point, his addiction, becomes his illness which has minimal cure.

All I can say, at this point is that it's okay to feel the need to be happy. But it is not okay to believe that drugs is the answer to your quest for happiness. This certainly is not the end of this topic. Stay tuned for more on this.

Lots of love, peace.
