now because people feel the need for control, to cease to recognize the reality of chaos that is natural, they also look for comforts. comforts can vary from eating, not eating, sleeping, not sleeping, etc. etc. everyone has their things they do in order to take them home to their safe space in themselves. if you abandon the commonly understood definition of what a ??drug? is, and re-define it as anything that you do in order to return to the safe space, then for all purposes it becomes completely possible for anything and everything to be a drug. people are constantly at struggle with control and everybody seeks escape through their ??drug? - anything and everything - love, puppies, dope, long walks, whatever does it for you. since people are in a constant struggle and have a desire to remain in their safe space, it is very easy for people to forget about moderation and become addicted - overeating/starvation, over-sleeping/sleep deprivation, etc. this is when desire becomes addiction. for most addiction is destructive. any ??drug? can be embraced, but all ??drugs? need to be used in moderation. anytime someone becomes dependent on something other then themselves in order to supply their own satisfaction, they are failing to moderate use, and have turned it into abuse, therefore losing the control they initially sought after.
after having said that you could look at society as a whole as view them as a group of weak willed, dishonest and fearful group; what are people really so afraid of i wonder? most believe in an afterlife, because their religion (just another crutch and control) tells them that??s what will happen after life on earth. yet, people run around frantically worrying what others will think of them. the pop star culture does nothing but feed people??s insecurities, and when there is the occasional ??celebrity? (which is a person really no different from any other), that isn??t afraid to do as they please, they become a symbol of hope for many. after becoming a symbol of hope, people through their insecurities and fears allow their lives to be led by this symbol of hope. absolute bullshit. people are more than capable of becoming anything they want, but they sit back and let someone live out their dreams and hopes for them. living vicariously through someone else is lame and is, to me, just another sign of how weak willed people can be and really are. people really have no reason to have faith in their surroundings, and why should they need to when all the faith they really need is right within. for some reason, people allow their ??drugs? - religion, addiction, fear, etc. - to blind them from seeing and taking advantage of everything that they already have. people are born free - as spirits - as a mind, but not as a body in all places unfortunately. people fear those that have peace of mind and soul, and don??t need peace of body, simply because it??s something they cannot bring themselves to do. they cannot let go of their control and their ??drugs.? those that don??t fear it, embrace it, but mostly only by watching from a distance and admiring and wishing they someday they could be just as strong willed. i say that day is today, and someone needs to open their eyes to it. if people abandon all their earthly comforts and learned to open their hearts to love again, not only would there be a downfall of desire (addiction to) for control, but they would learn to love themselves again. (earthly comforts being those material values that people can??t seem to let go of. it??s important to distinguish the difference in meaning between ??earthly? and ??natural? (coming from the earth).) people would realize that if they just followed their heart and put themselves to it that any dream or hope they have can become a reality.
there have been many people, mainly musicians and artists, whom have realized their peace of mind, and because music and art is a universal language of the mind and soul, played or created through and/or by the body, many have been saved through this media. the pop star/celebrity culture is the foe to this idea of freedom and peace of mind, and infect (mainly) our youth with insecurity, fear and a false pretense to where the home of happiness really is. those in the spotlight are to afraid to show them are people just like everybody else and live in fear of judgment and criticism if they were to open up that door and allow people to see who they really are. as a result of this, the public in hidden from the depression that the celebrity culture thrives on. they feed people with the idea that happiness can be measured by earthly things, and people live their lives in search of this, rather than just realizing peace of mind and living merely because they were born to live. every generation has it??s group that stands up and searches for peace within, and spreads hope to others - beatniks in the fifties, hippies in the sixties and seventies, etc., etc. however because people allow time to control their lives so much, we all become a product of our time and ostracize others who are a different product. fact of the matter is that we all have a lot to learn from each other in order to realize freedom and peace within ourselves, but people need to first let go of their comforts and addictions to time and money and all other things that don??t mean shit, because you can??t measure happiness and satisfaction with a pile of shit. people generally have the tendency to hate what they can??t bring themselves to understand, but if everyone opened their eyes to someone else??s life and understand it and equate it into their own lives, they would have a lot to gain.
