Enjoy Yourself, Don't let something else enjoy you.

It takes me a few days back when I was returning home after a late night visit to my friend's place and heard a cocky voice of a person who was accelerating just parallel . I would not have thrown interest if what the person has told wasn't poetic, at least to me . It was not as easy at it looked to demystify the inner meaning of what I heard . Which read, " Life has taught me one thing, You should enjoy the drink but one shouldn't allow it enjoy you ". I could almost spontaneously know about which drink he was speaking about to the pillion rider. One thing which was mysterious to me was that I could not make out the difference between enjoying a drink and vice versa. It was always to me just loosing ones sense to a liquid that itself takes shape of something else that it is contained in.

It is known that a human body has got various organs and the ones which can sense things around are classified into 5 types. It is understood that a person who is medically sound would have all his five senses working to full efficiency  along with the brain that processes the sensing organs. But here comes a situation where a person gifts his vital organs to a bottle of unknown liquid. I used the word 'gift' because the person declares a holiday to himself  and also because I find a lot people who are addicted call it enjoyment or fun. Now what wonders me is how can someone deposit his assets (senses) with someone else and call it enjoyment. How can loosing something vital (senses) as far as your body is concerned to an external agent in the name enjoyment  or fun. Not in worst case ever that a person will give away something that he has, to someone else and say I'm happy. Then why is this not in the case of an addiction. Why is that we give away or rather gift away our senses and claim external happiness. 

People may call it healthy, addon to a happy life, enjoyment and the means by which one can get disconnected with rest of the world. But, all this when your senses are sleeping is of no use. Becauae when there is no sense, what is that you enjoy. When someone cannot know what is happening around how can that state of him be defined.

It may be a 21 days old baby, who was put off on ventilator by a sweeper under influence or people who lost their legs just for sleeping on footpath, both of them had done nothing expect having a relaxed sleep. The one who is waiting to see the world . It is a pity that the young lad has not even seen calender change its month, before something brutal has happened . All because someone else is relaxing and enjoying his curiosity. One may say it was an accident. But one that takes place because of misfortune is termed to be an accident. Not the one which is committed in a state of mind where a person himself doesn't realize what his mind is asking him to do.

A person is punished and put behind bars because he has lost the status to live in the civic world ans similarly various organisations treat in a mentally challenged patients away from the outside world to a find a difference between who are mentally sound. I may sound cynical and typical but putting those who are "addicted" under the same roof and keeping them away from the civilized world makes perfect sense (at least to me) . A person can fiddle with any amount of risk, as far as his own life matters, surly not when he could be a hazard to others around. Allowing such people to live in this world will no longer call this a civilized place. That case, probably early man would be a better contender for being called civilized.

Addiction may  may be  fashion, trendy, curiosity or as a status symbol. But, loosing control of ones own sense and mind is like "loosing dignity to live in this world." If you consider to be a human at basic level and if you like to live in a civilized civilization the control system must be redesigned. I would say "Enjoy the life, Don't let your life enjoy your preposterous state of mind."
Not the miasmic fluid inside the bottle, not the nausea that the powed gives you  and not the toxin those  leaves leave behind inside your body are going to do any good to you. Rather great conversation with people around or clam honest talk with self would do great deal of good to you. 

Don't loose your senses to anyone or anything.  Enjoy yourself, Don't let other things enjoy you!!!

PS. Remember anything that disables you mentally or physically is something you should hug.

wat u said was a truth which everyone accept but fail to implement.........and u wer more about the drink which made sme people suffer and sme out of consciousness which they call enjoy...........and the reason wat i think is --------

other than the above case

person who isn't capable of doing things wat he want to do in public.....will think enjoying is smethng we do wat we want ( knowingly or unknowingly ) in sense or out of sense and there sme buggars who do all dis f***ing things and say " nashe mein tha yaar !!!! "..............at last we find girls suiciding or any other meaaan task for being pregnants ........and boys saying " kal raat mast tha ....par kya hua "

sad people

i suggest a plan :

Govt. should close all the bars and ask people to enjoy their addiction in their homes itself.......

and saketh us said the one who drives makes accident unknowingly gets the punishment is a pity one.............but u r forgetting "driving with or after drinking" is a crime even if it has been safe

very good thought. putting it in strong words is very necessary also. articles like this can force someone to introspect his actions. there is possibility that some people pick this habit to fit in society or without giving much thought. after reading thoughtful article like this, one should question himself before indulging into serious activities n should own full responsibility of any outcome of the same.
