drugs?
So, I gots myself to thinking...which always ends in bother.
DRUGS (as in the non-prescription variety)
I really have to ask WHY?
After a recent encounter with a lady less than 10 years older than myself with her life in tatters and close to watching a very dear friend end up in the same situation, I've really been thinking.
I know some people turn to it to escape from life because they have had a rough deal - but what I don't understand is that, these days, with the amount of drugs education in schools, the high media coverage and the amount of exposure the result of leading a drug dependent life gets - how can anyone still think that taking dugs has any more to offer than the life they have already, no matter how terrible it is?
Can they not see the downward spiral of those around them? Can they not see the way they lose their lives, their houses, their friends and family? Have they not seen the state of the housing areas where drugs are rife, where needles line the streets and almost skeletal bodies roam around looking for their latest fix? I really cannot believe that there is one person on this planet over the age of 12 years old who has not seen the state of someone who leads a life invoved in drugs.
I really have to ask why???? What is it that makes you do it? What is the draw? What do you believe you will get from it? Do you really, in your heart of hearts believe that it will make your life better? Do you believe that you are the one person who is strong enough not to get addicted? Do you believe that you can say no and stop at any point? Do you believe that it will all be okay?
I genuinley want to know. I'm not judging. If you happen to read and know what it is - let me know. I really don't understand.
