A very interesting chain of thought from MrPL -
Chemical Euphoria - I like that phrase Dee
Why did we chase that Chemical Euphoria - was it because It absolved us of all responsibility? We could do what we wanted in total freedom from any constraints at all, feel free from all our inhibitions and insecurities? - and who wouldn't want that feeling - Well of course there is the downside - the consequences when the chemical euphoria was over. Some of those consequences were small and insignificant, maybe could be brushed under the carpet, other consequences might be far reaching and have implications that alter our lives, or other peoples.
Fun at a price? The price is ultimately too high and the fun is only a chemical thing, not fun at all.
Really useful thread!
