Aren't we humans strange? We choose to do that which we know we shouldn't, then wonder why the addiction and despair.

All of that could be avoided if we would just stay away from those things which we know can cause addiction. It just seems like a no-brainer. 😳 Surely we're smarter than that, but then we get to thinking, "Nahh, I won't get addicted...not me!" and that's exactly what the devil is counting on. People don't realize that Satan is such an influence in this world. We just have to make more conscientious decisions and educate our kids not to get involved in those things. That's not to say it still won't happen but hopefully, if we have good guidance by parents, the chances might become less. Let's hope so, anyway. It is so sad to see lives ruined because of drugs and alcohol. My own husband was killed in a car accident because of a drunk driver, so we really need to emphasize safety and awareness.

Yes, strange we are. The non-acceptance of being different of an individual human being whilst the whole drama of woke and anti-woke going on is sickening. The real question is: are we indeed more accepting of our neighbour, do we love our neighbour more? Why can't one accept there's this and then the other? Do I need to accept that society is thus because of anything coming from above? No. Do I need to abandon any of my fellow human beings in the sense that I stay quiet each time something happens against them? No.

That's why I am against the war in Gaza and then also Hamas as a political party. If anyone wants to play radical revoluntionary then they need to stay away from the politicking a solution for peace too. The addiction comes out of despair and not believing in anything any more. One needs to spread hope. Hope is where home is, where really one feels safe and sound. I'm not claiming that one needs to convert anyone to anything, but there's need of decent people to stand up and say no whenever it's needed. That means indeed a lot of effort from the so-called silent majority, but one leads the people out of despair coming from no hope and the total dominance of the self by a few in charge or not

It's simply common sense, that some people don't use good judgment. That's the danger of buying drugs or alcohol to begin with and people need to be aware of that, because it's too easy to get addicted.

@LadyGrace I want to shout it aloud these days. So much and not only injustice in the world, but also the non-acceptance there's any justice at all to be observed. These are the days of the narcissist at best
