I read in the paper today that the baby boom generation may be
oblivious about its own children's experiments with drugs, They are
perhaps by disposition incapable of the authoritarian way of dealing
with this very real problem.
You could say summing up the experience of a generation: drug use is
a stupid one way ticket to nowhere for the more lucky users; it is a ticket
to hell and an early death for the not so lucky - numerous in our generation.
It takes no little intelligence early in life to distinguish between
real and illusory " happiness ". Real happiness is invariably EARNED through
some creative and productive relationship with the REAL world. Feeling
good for a few hours because you took a drug is an essentially PHONY
experience. Your " drug " personality is an impostor who may bury your
real self. A person who never has a sense of his real self is truly a
lost soul. I have gone to not a few funerals of these lost souls.
When I perceive someone is unusually " friendly " to me because of a
drug high, I am quickly bored with his or her company. I have no
patience with drug induced GREAT THOUGHTS.
I would say to all the kids I deeply care about : Choose LIFE not DRUGS !
In the long run it even feels better .
