Are you aware there’s a pill that will solve almost any personal problem you might have? Do you know there’s a chemical mixture in pill form that could be the answer for you?
No longer do you have to watch Oprah or Dr. TV for solutions to your mental, physical and spiritual needs. You have the security of knowing that some bio-pharmaceutical corporation is currently producing a quick-acting answer to all your problems (at a profit) and it’s readily available with a prescription from Dr. Enabler.
Is our society so emotionally and mentally lost that we believe some pill can bring us happiness? The other day I heard a report saying sleep makes people happy. Are they kidding?
Happiness is an emotion and emotions are ever-changing but if you want to know the secret, happiness is a by-product of how we live and treat others. It’s not found in pill form.
What happened to tough love, honesty and hard work for solving our personal problems? What’s the real problem when we wish for things to be different or better but we’re not willing to do the work to change ourselves? Maybe it’s as simple as “quit doing what you shouldn’t and do what you should.”
You can debate the minority of people who need medication for a real illness, but please don’t disregard those who’re using the medical community, under the disguise of “pain management,” as a legal place to obtain their pills and get loaded.
