Vanity & Sin

2006 Part II

Not even a whole month in - and the world has gone mad. The government is working on a pill to erase bad memories...make them less 'painful'. WTF? This is what the world is coming to? I guess in some instances that would be okay - but aren't we avoiding the reality of life experiences by reducing it with a pill? I think so...would I take it? F-No! I had a rough year last year, but we grow from these experiences as individuals. I wouldn't trade that for less stress. People in general have a hard enough time dealing with the reality of their lives, let alone themselves - and now they are whipping up a pill to make a lot easier. No matter how bad some events are in our lives, we are meant to grow and learn, not suppress and 'make things easier'. That's why we have drug addicts, potheads, and alcoholics. I think that is plenty to make the pain easier. This is just going to be a legal way for people to de-stress themselves. Maybe it will help the homeless veteran population...but they made that choice. We all make choices, it's just a matter of what they are and how we deal with them.

Everything in life is a choice - from getting in a car, saying 'I do' on an altar, to taking a needle in your arm for that ethereal high... Let people face their own damn problems - it's healthy! No one ever said life was going to be easy. Let's hope that people can see that - if they think they should make a pill..then they should just legalize marijuana. People feel good on that....it helps reduce the reality and stress in life. This would constitute a good medical reason! Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - get 'em stoned.
