FEED WHAT ADDICTION?

SO, I HAVE THIS DAYTIME GIG, WHICH SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS, AND AT THIS PARTICULAR JOB, IT IS SOMETIMES, NECESSARY TO DELVE OUT PHARMACEUTICALS OR NARCOTICS, FOR PEOPLE WHO FIND THEMSELVES, AT SAID JOB.  I'M SURE YOU CAN POSSIBLY PIECE TOGETHER WHAT I AM REFERENCING TO, AT THIS POINT.  ANYWHO, THE POINT I AM MAKING IS THAT THESE DRUGS, AS THEY ARE SO FONDLY CALLED, ARE PRETTY MUCH DISTRIBUTED AT WILL.  I DON'T MEAN, THAT THEY ARE JUST GIVEN OUT ANY TIME, THERE ARE STILL SAFETY PROTOCOLS, THAT HAVE TO AND ARE, ADHERED TO.  FOR THE SAFETY OF THE INDIVIDUAL THAT NEEDS THEM.  THIS IS, IN NO WAY, A CRITICISM OF THE PEOPLE OR ESTABLISHMENT, THAT IS DOLING OUT THESE DRUGS, THEY HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO THE INDIVIDUAL....AND THE BUSINESS.  OH, AND MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT FOLKS, IT'S A BUSINESS.  WHAT I HAVE NOTICED, IS THAT THE CUSTOMERS, HAVE BECOME MORE PRONE TO TAKING, REQUESTING, AND DEMANDING, THESE DRUGS.  IT'S AS IF IT'S A PREREQUISITE, WHEN VISITING AN INSTITUTION MUCH LIKE THE ONE I WORK, THAT, SOME FORM OF DRUG BE HANDED DOWN DURING THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE.  WHAT IS EVEN MORE PECULIAR, IS WHEN THEY ATTEMPT TO, CUT-OFF A CUSTOMER THAT IS DISPLAYING DRUG SEEKING BEHAVIOR.  HOWEVER, HAVEN'T YOU CREATED THE MONSTER ALREADY?

LOOK, I UNDERSTAND, THEY MAKE DRUGS FOR EVERYTHING NOW.  ALL OF IT, DOES SOMETHING, AND SOME OF THEM, ARE TO COUNTERACT, THE SIDE EFFECTS OF OTHER DRUGS.  IT IS ALMOST, AS IF THE DRUGS ARE SECOND NATURE FOR US HUMANS.  DON'T GET ME WRONG, SOME OF THESE DRUGS ARE SIMPLY WONDERFUL, AND DO, WONDERFUL THINGS, AND SAVE MILLIONS OF LIVES.  HOWEVER, HUMANITY'S DEPENDENCY ON THESE DRUGS, HAVE CRIPPLED MANY PEOPLE INTO BELIEVING THAT DRUGS ARE THE ONLY EXIT TO A BETTER LIFE.  THIS IS NOT ALWAYS TRUE.  SOMETIMES A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE, REQUIRES ONE, TO STOP ABUSING THE LIFE THEY HAVE, AND TAKE CERTAIN STEPS TO IMPROVE THEIR POSITION.  IT IS NOT THE ESTABLISHMENT'S, NOR THE CUSTOMER'S FAULT, IN THIS ALWAYS, MOST TIMES IT IS THE CULTURE OF THE FIELD.  OVER PRESCRIPTION, MISDIAGNOSIS, WEAK MINDED INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE UNWILLING, TO TAKE THE PRECAUTIONARY PRIOR STEPS, SO THEY AVOID BECOMING SLAVES OF THE DRUGS THEY RECEIVE.  I SEE BOTH SIDES OF THE ARGUMENT, BECAUSE, I ACTUALLY SEE BOTH SIDES OF THE ARGUMENT.  HOWEVER, THIS IS A HUMAN ISSUE, AND WE WANT THE EASY WAY OUT MOST TIMES.  MANY PEOPLE CHASE THE EASY COURSE IN LIFE, BECAUSE, WELL IT'S LESS WORK, BUT AT THE END OF THAT LIFE, THERE IS REGRET. 

I KNOW THIS SOUNDS PRETTY WEIRD, COMING FROM A BRAND WHO'S SLOGAN, AND OVERALL TONE IS DRUG/ADDICTION RELATED.  HOWEVER, WE PROMOTE BEING ADDICTED TO OUR IMAGINATIONS, MUCH LIKE BEING ADDICTED TO THE DRUGS, ONE WOULD NEED FOR RECREATIONAL USAGE OR, TO SIMPLY SUSTAIN LIFE.  THAT IS WHAT OUR MINDSET IS.  IT'S AS IF THE CURRENT STATE OF DRUGS IS TO NUMB BOTH MIND AND PAIN, STABILIZE CONDITIONS, OR MINIMIZE SEVERITY OF CONDITIONS.  PEOPLE, LINE UP FOR THIS, AND DEMAND THESE DRUGS, OR THEY THREATEN TO COMPLAIN TO THE MANAGEMENT, THAT THEY ARE BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY.  I SOMETIMES, FAIL TO SEE THE REASON WHY PEOPLE ARE SO RELIANT ON THESE DRUGS FOR FUNCTION.  WE ARE SLOWLY DISSOLVING INTO A WORLD FULL OF ZOMBIES, HALF AWAKE, AND BARELY ALIVE, WANDERING THE EARTH.  I JUST FIND IT WEIRD HOW MUCH PEOPLE, JUST CLING TO THESE, DRUGS THEY THINK HELP.  I GUESS IT HELPS, BUT, TO WHAT EXTENT?  DO THE DRUGS YOU DEMAND, HELP YOU LIVE, OR MERELY FUNCTION?   -  925
