fiction but fitting

[Guest guest]

I do not often post things to this list which are from works of

fiction, but I feel this quote is very appropriate. I got it from

the LJ blog here:

something to think about

 

 

" Consider Western culture's widespread and addictive consumption of

stimulant drugs like coffee and refined sugar and now read the

following description of the effects of such stimulant abuse:

 

" '...user feels depressed, extremely anxious, irritable, hostile,

alienated, fearful, confused and paranoid...'

 

" Walk through any city or town and look at the people around you,

watch the evening news, pick up any decent newspaper and then ask

yourself if it might not be worth considering that what we call

'reality' is actually an 'hallucination' based upon the clinical

effects of mass stimulant abuse.

 

" Just a thought "
