What is fun?
What is fun according to you?
Is it going out with your family? Or hanging out with friends? Or discovering new destinations alone? Or going out for shopping? Or reading a book without any disturbance? Or just sitting at home using some free Wi-Fi?
Many of you will either agree with me or maybe not! We all have different taste and likings. But many of you would agree with me, its fun when you are around with friends and family. It’s a different set of memories you create with them. These people insult you, make you cry and laugh, but they love you the most.
Many of you may like travelling and well it depends on you, whether you want someone accompanying you or you want to go alone and discover new travelling sites and boast about it in front of everyone else, like “how amazing it was”. We all have our own priorities.
That’s us, but have I covered all? NOPE!
There is one more group of people, and according to them fun has a different meaning.
“What else fun can be?
Well let me enlighten you.
Have you ever wondered how those people have fun sitting alone in some crooked corner of some vague bar? Do they even actually have fun? Well according to them, that’s what fun is. No they are not some retards, those are some real people.
I don’t know what contentment they get from drinking vodka/whiskey and smoking cigarette/weed.
One of my friend, who drinks and smokes quite a lot said to me, “It is fun, as you reach a new world, and this stuff gives you another kind of satisfaction which ‘spending time with friends/family’ can’t give. I admire addicts. In a world where everybody is waiting for some blind, random disaster, or some sudden disease, the addict has the comfort of knowing what will most likely wait for him down the road. He's taken some control over his ultimate fate, and his addiction keeps the cause of death from being a total surprise.”
I asked him why you chose this path, just for fun or had a deep meaning behind it?
He very politely answered me, “Some choose this path for fun, who want to copy their colleagues and some are too depressed to even think what’s wrong and what’s right. There are all kinds of addicts, I guess. We all have pain. And we all look for ways to make the pain go away.”
These people are so addicted now that they can’t even think of anything more fun that drinking and smoking. Well I feel at their part, they are right. When we are broken, we would do anything to bring fulfillment to us. That’s what they are doing. I am not talking about everyone; I am talking about those who are mentally and emotionally broke.
They drink because they want to escape the selfish reality of this egocentric world. They want to drink up their silent tears and blow away the pain. When you smoke/drink you reach a world of your own, where you can’t hear any comment against you, and where everything is blurry. Something inside them hurts them too much, and that’s why they need cigarettes or whiskey that bad that they can’t even think.
They are marred with the reality. Believe me, they want to leave everything behind and start with something new but they are so badly broken and don’t have the courage to face the reality.
Addiction is a scary disease. Please, don't be ashamed to ask for help. You can always fight it.
