There’s a lot going on out there; by “out there” I mean out in the world. There’s a lot going on in there; by “in there” I mean inside of you. One thing is certain, both out there and in there, we live in a world without consequence! Don’t believe me? Not only are we without consequence, we are so desensitized to literally everything, even if you do believe me, you have lost the ability to sympathize with what I am saying, thereby killing your ability to empathize with what I am saying, meaning you just don’t care because you can’t tell what’s real!
We call this dissociation, and don’t worry, there’s a pill for that! Just like there’s a pill for eating too much sugar; this pill overrides some body functions so you can continue to do the thing you love, eat lots of sugar! Preferably diet sugar…
You messed around and caught the HIV?! Don’t you worry, there’s a pill for that too! This pill has a 70% success rate, and if it is successful you will no longer be contagious, so you can continue to do the thing you love, sex or sharing intravenous drug needles!
Got knocked up and don’t want to be?! Oh there’s a pill for that! You might have to drive to Ohio to get it, but it exists. Take two and it will be like a forgotten super heavy period.
Sometimes you feel sad? Don’t worry, there’s a pill for that! This pill will block the ability to feel anything! Because emoting is never healthy, right?!
Weight too high? You guessed it, there’s many pills for that! All you have to do is pop one several times a day and continue to eat all the things you love! Cheeseburgers with Krispy Kreme buns! Yum!
Blood pressure a little elevated? We got you, but for this one you’ll have to take at least two pills; one to block the natural processes for lowering blood pressure, the other to override the first pill when your blood pressure gets too low.
Can’t get an erection?! No worries, there’s a pill for that! But you will have to take both the blood pressure pills from above because the erection pill will make your blood pressure do funny things, not just your member. And, in case it gets stuck in the upright position, there’s a pill to make it go back down!
Tired of common morning halitosis? Don’t you fret, pop two pills when you go to sleep and wake up with a delightful, bio-engineered, minty freshness in the morning. (This one I made up, just for giggles! But I doubt I’m too far off from the not too distant future.)
Y’all, how long can we sustain this way of thinking; this way of living? How many pills can our bodies sustain?
Science is really cool, but in none of the above scenarios is the most logical thing to do suggested; remove the stimulus.
Our mindset of more, more, more, has led to a mindset of I can do what I want, never having to take responsibility for misdoings, or wrong doings, because if we over do, a pill will do!
Eventually, this too shall pop! Who’s to blame you wonder? Well darlin”s, I think it has been a united effort. You could lay off the late night Ben and Jerry’s and science could better explain cause and effect.
You could abstain from sex, and science could better explain cause and effect.
You could brush your teeth first thing in the morning, and science could better explain cause and effect.
Have I made my point?!
Great!
Don’t forget to wash your hands! (Or at least apply the scientific gel that kills all germs including the ones you need to keep you healthy!)
Talk soon.
