You wrote: "Not exactly accurate. That's with addiction, not with tolerance. Tolerance is simply one of the many precursors to addiction. It's the beginning of addiction, not addiction per se." Tolerance characterizes the beginning of addiction. Anyway, it's not what it's called. It's what it is.
I certainly think that it's important to think (sorry about the redundancy). I've said I do not agree with those who say you should turn your brain off and just follow orders. But thinking isn't enough. Reading isn't enough. Only doing may be enough. Note the "may be." Regrettably it doesn't always work. Recidivism is rampant in these parts. Good luck.
