Observations On Our Health......
Nowadays, we are being ransacked with TV commercials about some drug to help you with depression, diarrhea, constipation, restlessness, migraines, male-pattern baldness, allergies, procrastination, fear, acne, obesity, incontinence, and yes.....we have about 10 types of pills that keep your dick hard for over 20 hours (ouch : | ).
And yes, there are some of us that need some medical or pharmaceutical treatment for the things that ail us. But what I see now, is that the world is taking drugs to eliminate SIMPLE DISCOMFORT! Being uncomfortable is a part of life. Having heartburn is a part of life. Not being able to sleep somedays is a part of life.
However, you body is trying to tell you something. Whatever you did, or ate is not agreeing with you, and you need to deal with that issue, or feel continued discomfort. A very small percent have chronic heartburn from some genetic abnormality. A LARGE PERCENT OF CHRONIC HEARTBURN SUFFERERS EAT A LOT OF NASTY, UNHEALTHY SHIT! A small percentage of us have sleepless nights because of some brain disorder. A LARGE PERCENT OF US SUFFER FROM SLEEP DEPRIVATION BECAUSE WHEN INGEST POUNDS OF SUGAR, VISIT STARBUCKS 3 TIMES A DAY, TRY TO CRAM FOR TESTS AND EXAMS AT THE LAST MINUTE, AND TRY TO SLEEP AS THE SUN IS UP AND BIRDS ARE CHIRPING THEIR ASSES OFF!
Now, every child has OCD, or ADD, or ADHD, or some type of fucking disorder. Or so many of the kids nowadays have "special needs". Well, not paying attention all the time, or being hyper, or as I would redefine it....BEING A KID....doesn't need medication! And if your child has "special needs", that should be addressed and taken care of IN THE HOME more than it is dropped in the laps of teachers and educators. I am willing to bet that over 90% of kids on any type of drug to curb hyperactivity or some classified "disorder", DO NOT NEED ANY DRUGS!
There is only one sickness that is spreading like wildfire, and that is the sickness that prevents us to take responsibility or accountability for our actions. If you go to "All You Can Eat Extra Spicy Wing NIght" on Tuesdays, and inexplicably complain about the pain, bloating, and eyewatering gas you have on Wednesday, it's obvious you're not taking care of yourself like you should.
If you eat BLOCKS of colby cheese as a "snack", and your bowels ain't moved in weeks, take your sluggish ass to the produce secion and get some FIBER in your off-balanced diet. If you're under the age of 30, and you have more fingers than teeth, however, you never miss your local church's weekly "Saltwater Taffy Giveaway", you have no sensible basis to complain about toothaches.
Now don't get me wrong, one of my favorite foods chicken and rice SMOTHERED in rich gravy. But I have the decency to let friends know that 1. I just finished off a plate or two, 2. Not to go into the bathroom after I went until you let at least 20 minutes pass, 3. The reason I duck outside every 3 minutes is for the safety for anybody inside, and 4. I will definitely hit the gym tomorrow, because only hard work and sweat is gonna get that meal off my love handles.
It's a whole lot cheaper to change somethings we do to correct some of the "discomforts" we have in our life. However, it takes true effort and work to do that. It's easy to pop a pill and dismiss all accountability of our actions, but does it really help us in the long run?
But hey, this is just my opinion........my word ain't law.....
