Crystal Meths or not?

Oh and after almost exactly 10 month i’d kill for a cigarette right now :?

We all have a story, and we are all pitiable. However, that doesn’t excuse self-destructive behaviour. We, the parents of these youngins’, have helped to shape the world in which they live. We did it my creating a consumerist society where, to paraphrase Cyrano de Bergerac, “We tickle the head of mammon with our left hand, while our right takes in the fee.” Yes, hypocrisy, built upon rationalization. This stops us from growing, from being real, and we become like emotional eunuchs, always searching for the next distraction. With our senses thus dulled we take up buying and spending, drinking, drugs, sex, or mutilation; anything to stave-off the monotony of our complacent, unfeeling selves. We laud our celebrities for such debauched behaviour, because we identify with the hole they are trying to fill.

I am not casting judgment, I have wasted hours, days, and years a plenty chasing fleeting distractions, and in the end, hating myself in the bargain. However, in my heart of hearts, my inner-truth, I always knew that my behaviour was bullshyt, and harmful. You see, it isn’t the drugs that are at issue, but the fact that we all have too much material stuff, and not enough of the spiritual. We lust after diversions such as movies, crap music, accessorizng our person with piercings and paint. In other words, we have supplanted the genuine article for cheap knock-offs.

If a child doesn’t get to see parents treating each other with respect, or showing affection to one another then they lack in that area. Parents all worry about their relationship with their kids, but it is the relationship between the parents that is the important one. Each party building the other one up, each one trying to meet the needs of the other, as best they are able. Instead, we have too many emasculated men, and too many bitter women.

Every society has its dysfunction, and drugs and alcohol are part of ours. Why? Because we believe in things and in the accruing of things, but we don’t believe in our spiritual selves. Yet, our spirit is ever at the ready…we only need acknowledge it.

I leave the last quote to Monsieur de Bergerac…”Never to utter a sentence that I have not first heard in my own heart. To be content with things in my own garden, aye, even if they be weeds.”

I don’t believe for one moment that someone who dabbles in drugs sets out to become an addict. The majority of people who dabble in drugs never become addicted. To the percentage of people that do then the drug becomes a safe haven from normal life. Then the haven becomes preferable to real life.

Personally I’ve never seen the point in ‘drugs’ but in the past loved smoking and still enjoy a tipple. I didn’t set out to smoke 20 a day when I dabbled with one cigarette! I kind of woke up one day as a 20 a day nicotine addict – and still would like a cigarette at times but choose not to! However it was a painful journey after many years to stop that addiction.

Therefore is the drug addict to be abhorred or pitied? Having been a nicotine addict I find myself feeling empathy as I’m sure they never set out to deliberately be an addict.

Is Amy a spoilt rich girl or just a vulnerable child or adult whose life is lacking in some way?

Drugs are great. Anyone who doesn’t agree is a mardy pranny.

The media doesnt help building these people into something theyre not, you ordinary joe on the street would be a dirty crack head junkie low life, but instead the celebrities are built into some piteable troubled genius. Because you have the money to enable you to avoid crime as a means of getting the cash to feed the habit doesnt make them any better. Any publicity is good publicity and probably none better than killing yourself in your own vomit to increase perceived talent.
