just something
Hello people,
Welcome to my thoughts. A wonderfully dark and scary place.
I have become quite used to it and its genious. It comforts me, and strengthens me and...
ok,
so, today's issue is drugs and alcohol.
Except its not just today's issue. It's been around for hundreds of years. Well, not both at the same time usually. Just, in socials they were talking about the natives and...
I guess there's been problems with it before too.
Its just today its what i'll be talking about.
So my personal opinion on drugs (alcohol included) is that they are forms of artificial joy.
Used by those who can't seem to find it on their own. Basically thats how I imagine it.
(Start negativity here)
ALright, so drug users and binge drinkers are sad people.
Well ones who do it as a habit. Because after too much use and the addiction part, they forget what a natural joy feels like, and that is probably the best kind. Because you don't need anything to get it, and can thus have it all the time. Well, most of the time barring outside influences.
Now the affects of the stuff.
ALcohol the good: Lowers inhibitions (this is what I hear). So shy people get a little more outgoing and stressed people become a little more relaxed. Until you go over a certain limit, where the poison starts affecting you and you become drunk. I am decidedly against this because I know when I am speaking to them, it's the alcohol talking back, not the real person. And since I am friends with people for the real them, I hate it when its not them talking back. I wonder where my friend has gone. Yes. Same thing with drugs. Alters mind state, and I'm talking to a drug, not a person.
I feel I have no need to use drugs or alcohol, because I believe I am the best person I can be. Basically I feel like I'm better than everyone who does use drugs/drink regularly, because I can enjoy myself without it.
I once came up with an interesting comparison. I thought that drinking is sorta like a boxing. Both are fun, for those who like it. Boxing is rarer among my friends.
I thought, well, the worst things that can happen from drinking are passing out, and death from alcohol poisoning. But death is kinda rare. This seems just like boxing, as it is only the rare story of death, like none, and knockouts dont happen just everytime.
Other similarities are while some people feel like a drink every now and then, some guys just need to blow off some steam. Ususally both are done in fun. Boxing's a sport, so the athletes must enjoy it. And people mostly drink to enjoy it.
Also, alcohol does sometime create violent drunks, who wish harm on others.
Boxing does have its hateful, violent people, but mostly it is just good natured competition.
However, there are a couple of differences.
Boxing is decideely healthier. IT involves much movement, being in shape, and good ol' concentration. Drinking on the other hand, anyone can do. Why fat and lazy people drink beer but usually dont do sports.
I think exercise should become a greater influence in everyone's lives. A jog/bike ride/long walk is probably one the best things for you. It gets you some fresh air for your lungs, gets your heartbeat up which strengthens it. Also, I believe it releases endorfins, the chemical in your brain that makes you feel good. I may be wrong, but its sorta how I feel after getting out.
Now peer pressure. A sad but true influence in everyone's life. Everybody wants to fit in somehow. Even if their not being urged on by friends, though that happens too, they still want to be accepted as part of the group. Well that's my story.
Those who pressure their friends into using drugs/alcohol, that makes me feel sad. I can't see a true friend wanting their buddy to use a substance that will affect the personality they've become friends with, as well as harm their friend's body. Just sorta confused me a little.
Now, some of you may disagree with my opinion. Thats okay with me. If you have a problem with it and decide that you no longer want to have me as company, then you are likely not a friend I needed to keep, as friends should be able to look past one anothers shortcomings. It makes sense to me that if you cant do this, then you are not a friend, and I havent really lost anything. FOr those of you who still want me to be in your company, then alrighty then, I look forward to seeing you soon for a good time. Thanks,
