Drugs/Life

I don't think most people think that drugs ( legal or illegal ) are something to get upset about. Unless You are a Christian or another faith.

And that goes for alcohol too.  Why does it have such a hold on us? Why do we choose to do it?

It is so very difficult to live a good and wholesome life these days, when there is so much going on. First there is being born into you don't know what! then Your getting pushed around by giants who have all the power and you better do as they say because Your survival depends on it!

Next thing You know, You've been shoved into a room full of crying faces You don't know and don't care because Your Mum/Dad isn't there. The strange smiling lady in the room pushes you to sit or listen or play and tells You not to cry but their is no hug! or a kiss on your cheek    What is going on? you don't know because you are just wanting to stay away from danger and survive but Mum/Dad are not there.

Then when You get used to being in that room every day and realize that it's o k  (even if young Sean keeps hitting You every time He lays eyes on You)  when they make You eat food otherwise there will be frowns; You at least think that it will be over soon and then can go home back to the toys you know and Love.

At first everything you do is cute and funny, you get sweets and presents for Birthdays and Christmas; Fire works are amazing and watching TV before you have supper and then a warm bed with Teddy and Dolly by your side; you don't feel frightened because Mum said that the moving shadows on the wall are just the cars driving by with their headlights on. And you do as your told because you know they want you to survive , you believe them because you Love them and know they mean you no harm unless you do a bad thing which you will try to remember not to do.....if you can remember that is....there is so much to learn! sometimes it's not easy to go to sleep right away!

The years go by so fast but you are learning what they want from you. At times you make mistakes and get a warning or a wallop but on the whole, you are alive and are getting food on your plate at the right time every day, no starving, no beatings, no abuse, a warm bed at night and you know that others are worse of than you are, you are getting snippets of stories about the second world war and the evil Nazis, How thousands and thousands of solders were killed or tortured by them; then you realize that your Dad is a solder and you belong to an army family.
