OK fine. You don’t like the heroin idea I take it. My sister-in-law could totally set you up, if you do. She’s been feeling excellent for nearly twenty years now.[/quote]
Drugs have no appeal to me whatsoever. Generically, drug addicts are unhappy with their existences and seek to escape reality through artificial means. I quite enjoy my real life and have no interest in “escaping” it.
I’ve never had an illegal drug, including pot, although I support the legalization of all drugs. I didn’t start drinking until I was 34, and do occasionally like to have a few beers. I’ve never been shitfaced. But getting a moderate buzz going in the presence of entertaining company is one of life’s pleasures. Moderation in all things. Including moderation.[/quote]
But if it’s pleasure you’re after (because life has no point), it’s all just a matter of brain chemistry. Whether you have an abundance of dopamine and norepinephrine provided by drugs or by a few beers and “entertaining” company, it’s all essentially the same.

Participant[quote=davelj][quote=fredo4][quote=davelj]Life has no point, other than seeking your own contentment (and then you die). [/quote]
I used to think just like this. Would never admit it, but I was miserable. There is no way that you can possibly have a happy life if you think there’s no point to it. [/quote]Funny, I feel exactly the opposite. Feeling that there IS some point to it – like pleasing some god with a beard, or whatever – would be depressing to me. Acknowledging that there’s no point to it all gives me an immense sense of freedom and calm.
But we’re all wired differently.[/quote]

Why not just become a heroin addict? Then you’ll feel good all the time. Provided you have enough money to keep your habit going, your life will be set. -
