Ramble On

Alright this is not really about any sort of topic. It's just what is currently going on in my head. I may take you all over the place with this one so sit back and enjoy.(Ok Ok perhaps I should go see a doctor about these voices) But then I figure if I do that then the doctor would put me on some "happy pill" and become another dopey happy man.

Before you go jump down my throat and tell me how great "happy pills" are, I can understand for some it may help them. They take 1 a day or every couple of days and they're fine. Here's my argument....

Humans have been around for over 2,000 years and mankind has survived WITHOUT these "happy pills". What they had were natural opiates and barbituates available to them. Sure as time goes on they advanced just as we have. But all of these drugs that they have now is absolutely ridiculous.

They have doctors sitting in back rooms coming up with new "diseases" or "sicknesses". My all time favorite is "Restless Leg Syndrome". What the hell? Ohh but don't you worry cause there is a drug now for this.Why do we need a drug for every little ailment the human body goes through? My favorite part of the drug commercials, the side effects portion. Some drug that will help you stop snoring but the drug may cause bloddy noses and in rare cases:

-Sores in the nose.
-A hole (perforation) that forms in the wall between the nostrils (septum).

Oh well now thats wonderful. I will possibly stop snoring but the medicine I take just may cause my nose to "fall apart". I could possibly not have the inside of my nose anymore. Sounds like a great trade off. These drugs also should not be taken if you suffer from heart disease, diabetes, chronic bronchitis, soreness in the muscles, stress, paper cuts, or if you are human!

Now don't get me wrong science is great and all the medical marvels that we have been witnessed to is amazing. Why must we continually try and solve everything. Civilization has been around for a long time and we survived just fine without these man made drugs. Let's take it back to the "happy pill".

I refuse to take the "happy pill" simply because I am human. Part of life is having your "ups" and "downs". Life is not easy. You live and you learn. You are going to have your "bad days" but for every one of those think about all the good days you have. More than you think. You're alive. You have food on your plate and a roof over your head. Life may not always be wonderful and we all face our troubled times. That is part of life! I do not want to be perpetually happy from some lab made drug. (Nor do I condone the use of illicit drugs...welll..on second though..oh wait nevermind!).

Well after re-reading this myself I realize now that I have created another topic that I will need to discuss. Drug Companies is going on the list. So where was I? Oh yeah my sermon about life. I came across a saying awhile back and it's just kind of stuck...

LIVE IT UP! DRINK IT DOWN! LAUGH IT OFF!

Until Next Time
