Drugs. What do we know about drugs? What do we imagine when we say this
word? White powder or a young person, wiping out any possibility for
his future to grow, killing himself slowly. Drugs came in our life and
destroyed any relations between parents and children. I say "any"
because this is the word, defining exactly what happens when a child
starts taking drugs. Ignorance. Ignorance from the rest of the world,
living in a world with no real friends, no sun, no flowers, no stars,
no tears or laughter^ no love. The only friend of the drug addict is
the syringe. And nevertheless, there are people who manage to emerge
from all this, to overcome their dependence from drugs and let their
life change, continue, develop or whatever word you're comfortable
with. Why? Why there are so many drug addicts? Why does a child become
a drug fiend? There are people, who are more probable to start taking
drugs, than others. People, who are more responsible, stronger and are
always "in charge" of their own problems, these people "never" take
drugs, as they say themselves. These people are able to obey someone,
to entice someone, to listen or act for someone, but to get what they
want, to get the joy they want. But there are weak people, who have
"closed" and ignored themselves from the rest of the reality, people
who live in their own world. They are usually not willing to solve
their problems by their own, so they find a "friend" who "helps" them.
And all this, because you don't need neither to obey, nor to allure the
squirt. No, you just take it, and you get they joy you have been
longing for so fervently, ignoring everything else around you. You get
a false joy, and become unable to feel anything, as you try to get
another dose^
