First start with what surprise me from Mexico, I'm quite surprised by the alcohol drinking information from mexico because It says that poorer people drink more. It contrasts with Tobacco information that people in developing country smoking less than the developed countries which infer that rich people smoke more than the poor. So ,what is the difference between alcohol and tobacco? Why rich people smoke more but drink less while poor smoke less but drink moor?
Another thing is the substance that people usually use in Thailand. At this moment when i think about additive substance, right now in my head, i have an image of yellow clothes people, not monks but PAD. May be the additive substance most used now is belief though belief seems like non-substance. However, i think it will be the worst additive substance in our world if it is used in the wrong way. The war ussually occur because of some conflict in each side belief. You may have never thought about how much strong result it has on people. Only Belief can gather many people to risk their lives for it. And i think addiction to some strong belief may be more difficult to cure than other drug addiction

Do you mean like addiction to religion? Some people do seem to take their religion as seriously as addicts take their drugs. They think they need it and can't live without it, just like addicts, and the results for society of taking religion so seriously are just as disastrous as drug addiction when the believers try to force others to agree with them or live the way their religion dictates. In fact, I would guess that religious wars and social conflict caused by religion kill just as many people as drugs do.
ReplyDeleteThought provoking post.
Actually there aren't not only religion, but also politics, how to living, norms and so forth
