My husband was back home in Carolina visiting family, so when my mother called to tell me to switch on the television, I was panicking (unrealistically given the distance, but then I convinced myself he might have been in NY with friends) that he might be caught up in what I was seeing. When I couldn’t get him on his mobile I was hysterical and then by the time that he called me, it became apparent that flights were grounded and he wouldn’t be flying home for the forseeable future.
I was sick with anxiety and couldn’t bear to watch the footage, as imagining the final desperate moments of so many thousands of people, made me hyperventilate.
I was convinced I would never see my husband again.

At least he went out blazing. At least his short life was spent living. I’d rather that than spend my puff not doing things out of fear, cowering away and feeling safe like some shell of a human being. Lesser human beings?

Huh, what does that even mean? Of course no one would choose to live a life of fear…it often leads them to doing drugs. Just like no one would choose to live a life of drug addiction, and the shocking mundanity of looking only to the next fix.

How can not experiencing something make you more? Riddle me that. I’m supposed to be freeborn Briton with a bit of derring-do. Drinking, drug taking, mountain climbing, motor racing, fighting, horse riding, footballing, sailing, adventuring, womanising, policeman hat knocking offing. If you see what I mean, that is.

Yes, I know exactly what you are trying to say. We can get more out of life if we will only take a risk, now and again. I couldn’t agree more that many of us might feel more alive by delving into areas that are beyond our comfort zone. But, just how uncomfortable do things have to become before they are weighted the other way? I also don’t think it makes a case for drug-addiction; which is, after all, what the thread is talking about.

The point is, none of these things are safe. Not even necessarily recommended. But they are a laugh and they are constructive. If you don’t think so, don’t ever post in the arts forum again. In fact, go to your ceedee collection, take out all the good ones and bin them. You can keep the shite. I can guarantee it was written and performed by soulless, non drug-taking chumps. They’re all probably still alive, as well. Mouldering away somewhere.

Uhm, bullshyt.

Drugs are dangerous and that’s an integral part of why they’re a good thing.

Sniffing gasoline is dangerous, too. Some of the young people who live in Canada’s North have succumbed to this addiction. I don’t think anyone, not one single person would qualify this “drug,” as a good thing. And it is a drug, as it is a substance that is ingested to get stoned, and is highly addictive.

They expand horizons in a genuine manner. Open up knew avenues in all sorts of unexpected and delightful ways.

Some can, most don’t. I’ve done enough of them in the past to know. Any kind of enlightenment is usually short-lived, repetitive, and self-indulgent.

There’s bound to be casualties. There is danger, though, in anything worthwhile. How many artists or philosophers have gone mad just from their contemplations? Yet you’d think picking up a brush or a pen would be safe.

I fail to see how the danger of drugs is aligned with the contemplations of artists and philosophers.

Not if you want to be good.

It’s a good thing Bach didn’t know about this drug taking thing, otherwise he might have blown our brains out, literally, upon listening to his music.

Beautifully countered, Stephen. =D>

I heard Leon Jackson’s new single yesterday.
He won the X Factor last year but it’s pretty obvious he hasn’t really got the X Factor at all.
He never did have it and never will.
I’m sorry to upset the jocks reading this but there you go.

For me the “X Factor” is a certain something in your persona that turns heads.
Something that makes you different from the rest.
Call it charisma .. call it whatever you want.
Does anyone in JC have it?

You ask that in the presence of the splendiferous Esmeralda? You need a good throttlin’, boy! :wink:

Enjoy Your Solar Return Sian
