You speak of one of the most common misconceptions known to man... This is why people who drink feel better in the moment, yet they return to the same problems after they drink. People who smoke weed get great insights and have wonderful visions and feel good and happy in the moment, yet the problems in their life continue. This is called escapism in psychology, which is why we read Fantasy books and watch t.v. We like to dream more about the way we would like things to be, rather than to actually take the time and effort to do what is needed to make changes in our lives. |
I was talking about learning how to feel better from within without the aid of anything external. This can be achieved without drugs, but drugs only become a barrier to it if used incorrectly. It comes down to personal preference.
I stand by what I said. Learning to feel better in the moment is the only way to feel better in the long haul.
