It's everything to do with it. The befuddled are incapable of clarity much less awakening.
I know. Excuse my facetiousness. I'm just wondering what the answer is, as we seem to be sleepwalking into a bizarre 1984-esque state, just a few decades after it was prophesied.
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face--forever.

A media-induced sleepwalk lulls blind acceptance that there is no alternative, that traditional views are what, Fascism? The atomisation of society is the aim, the denial of any ground to rally resistance.
The money power is winning; it has kids gulled into believing anything other than blind acquiescence is 'hate.'
An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

I get the money-power thing, god knows I'm like a broken record on this site on the subject. Media induced I get too - that's why I don't own a TV and my kids aren't gulled into believing anything. Nor will they ever be. Amuses me in a perverse way that I get a knock on the door occasionally asking about a TV Licence. Arf.
I hear you about fascism too. I look at democracy as a sick joke. Not getting the 'traditional' thing though.

Traditional? When I say that I'm using it is as shorthand for healthy, organic. It would be a 'traditional' view that getting involved with heroin is madness when everyone, no matter what your personal paucity of education, knows where that road ends.

I think heroin is the least of the problem, legal highs are far more dangerous and on the increase far more than the brown stuff, how it is still being sold in high street shops is a disgrace.

This stuff... brings a tear to your eye. I had a bit of that in my teens, things went pear-shaped for a while. Honestly if it wasn't for my family I'd probably be done already like a good deal of my mates.
I think I always get overly emotional when I watch things related to drugs. Glad to be done with that, but I can always feel it. I just wish that ex-users could be called into help address the problem. As a lot of the ideas for sorting it, usually comes from old men who have no idea what the problem really is. People who know how users feel, and the process happens. They should at the least work with Rehab centres and shelters for the homeless and get a better grip on the problem, before coming up with solutions that just don't work.
Just had a watch of this,shocking how they continue use when their bodies are in such a state,its hard for myself to feel sorry for them or really hate them,the problem is huge even valium ffs ,more help should be provided which in the long run would be an investment with our greedy government.

For me, that was it really, the realization that my body was literly being cooked from the inside. But honestly its a bit easier to say "look at the state I'm in, maybe I should just quit it" when you are in throws of addiction.
Aside from the need and thirst to be sorted the way your mind is use to (and yes your mind and body despite being so ill is well convinced this is the way its supposed to operate), there's withdraw which is depending on your poison is one of the most awful experiences I can remember going through.
In retrospect, I would say the first time going through it, and deciding to go clean is the easiest. Because you know how much crap the whole thing is after the first go, and so its a lot harder to go through with it.
