Beware

I know of a man who will say he is your friend.  He will relieve you of fear and inferiority.  Sounds good, no?  All you have to do is ingest a little liquid something.  OK if it does not taste good the first time.  You will get over that.  You begin to feel a bit mellow.  Fear and inferiority do diminish.  You have a new best friend.  You feel part of something.  You feel you belong.  You are able to talk and be funny and be accepted.  Wow!  Time passes.  The fear and inferiority come back.  But you know the secret says your friend.  But this time you might have to ingest a bit more to get that mellow high.  And so it goes over time.  “More” becomes the solution until it becomes the problem.  Your life has spiraled out of control.  You have lost a lot of things, and people.  You feel hopeless and hate yourself.  Suicide?  What happened to your friend, that fellow who told you so long ago the solution to being uncomfortable.  He is laughing.  His name? John B. Many will know what the B stands for.  I have found a spiritual solution works better.  Actually, the other way does not work at all.
