I think about the aspect of Uncertainty in our lives (a lot) and have come to believe that almost all our actions are somehow intended, consciously or unconsciously, to deal with it.
Work all the time.
Don't work at all
Drink too much.
Social Media
Shopping
Devices
Gambling
Video Games
Movies
Television
Music
Commitments
Family
Education
Illegal drugs
Legal drugs
Religion
Politics
Food
On and on and on.
Anything taken too far qualifies as a drug in this scenario, a Drug when what we were really looking for was a Supplement, something to help with this unknowing, uneasiness in our lives.
A Drug is meant to treat a specific problem, and not necessarily sustainable beyond the immediate.
A Supplement is meant to provide what's missing to maintain overall health and well-being.
Supplements sure sound a lot better.
It's not just calling it a different name, it's awareness and appropriate quantities.
Too much of anything is still too much.
