A lot of things benefit the trained mind, and little benefits the uneducated and the unprepared. What I learned by observation of many people is that there is in the worst warnings about a dissolute lifestyle, much truth, but the people most often doing the warning not having the experience first hand, do not communicate well, and the people experiencing who see the dangers of this life are perhaps not sufficiently communicative and psyhcologically adept to reach the other's decision making levels needed to change one's life sufficiently quickly and permanently. I found it devilishly hard to change people's mind about substance abuse which was stimulant and psychologically addictive, because the personalities so involved believed themselves to be normal, and were consummate liars in that they lied convincingly to themselves. No amount of post-binge remorse could be believed, and their depressive polar states allowed them to ramp back into breaking their resolve to stay straight with the alacrity that ony {false} Circean Elysian calls can effect. The crew jumps ship and will swim to imagined wraiths promising ectstatic life sooner than man a galley oar on any day given. No matter how many times Circe let them down they jumped over side every time their blood chemistry renewed the siren song. An oft quoted and teleivion-dramatized interpretation of the drive where the addict seeks to change his state to a narcotized one, is where he is in a deep depression from lacking a drug. This is not I believe, strictly true. The thing that drives him to seek the state of high again is actually when he is feeling better. It is his manic state the drives his bad behviour, not his depressed state. Many an addict I met would want to quite drugs entirely on the down side of a high. As soon as they returned to normal they would seek out a supply again. EC:<-}
