Drugs And Change

There are medications that can calm us down, and deal with our agitation, or bad mood.  Changed moods don't change us.  If you are selfish and self-centered, slothful, prideful, and judgmental, for instance, drugs won't change that.  God does not zap us into being better people either.  Drugs can help us escape from a mood, but not from ourself.  Real change is hard work.  Ask anyone who is in a recovery program or working with a no nonsense counselor.  In my religion there is the cross.  It is to remind me that religion is not about feeling good.  It is about being good.  It is about love when you are not loved back.  There has always been plenty of religion, but not very many transformed people.
