The explanation isn’t anything new, but somehow, people keep turning to drugs no matter how much destruction they bring into a life. People who partake in drugs are essentially living in a paradox of insanity.
If the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results, the person doing drugs is getting the different results with each trip because they turn up the intensity, or they switch up the means of getting high, but where they cross the line of insanity is that they see the negative results on their life, but they somehow don’t make the connection that the reason that everything changed for them was because they started experimenting with drugs; and each time they took that hit and felt that high, they expected that things were going to be different.
People see how drugs ruin people’s lives all the same. They make the mistake of thinking they are the exception and not the rule. A word to the wise; you are never the exception. Especially in the case of drugs. This isn’t Limitless and you aren’t Bradley Cooper. If you need further explanation, here are 2 reasons drugs are fun now but won’t be soon:
You Are Mere Mortal
Maybe drugs are appealing because they make you feel like you’re on top of the world. Before you’re under the influence, you are a mere mortal, but each time you take that hit, the game changes. You’re in an alternate universe and you are the author of your own twisted and warped destiny. Obviously you are not facing reality. You have to come back down to earth and get yourself back to a place of wellbeing, health and happiness. ‘
Drugs are masters of deception. Your body is great at adapting for a time, but survival of the fittest only applies to those who keep themselves fit. The person who knowingly subjects themselves to substances that kill their ability to function on a basic level over time are giving themselves a death sentence. Drugs are no longer fun when you’re dead.
It’s All In the Company
You know how similar types of people attract those that are like themselves? People flock to others with the same downfalls. It makes them feel understood and justified in their fatal flaws. The problem with this is that there is never any accountability to put down the vice and move towards health and happiness in a capacity that isn’t going to ruin its suitors.
Those who do drugs attract others with the same tendency. It’s all in the company. Hang with the wrong people and it all goes downhill. It’s all fun and games with the company you’re keeping today, but tomorrow when you’re all doing the same thing and everybody is walking out the effects of their choices, the high isn’t enough and there is little you can do to take back the cause that spurred on the side effects you’re living with today.
