People feel bad for hobos, schizophrenics, orphans, rape victims, the emotionally disturbed but they hate on drug addicts so easily. No body turns to doing Heroin or latches to any drug so hard it ruins their life for fun. There is a preceding problem and stigmatizing a chemical is one step in the small path of ignoring real human pain. Im just tired of hearing,”stupid drug addict”. They hurt the same as you and I before they turned to the underground of banned and blacklisted substances for answers or hope.
The cure is to address them as human beings and show real emotion ,care about who they are. Nobody wants to be a slave to an escape. People want to be free, so pull them up. Don’t yell at their walls.
You can’t declare war on a desperate soul’s struggle to save them. Our laws are so fucking pretentious Peter Pan gunna show up in congress one of these days. The war on drugs is over; drugs won. Now we’re just shooting ourselves in the foot.
The secret to connecting to people is to genuinely let them be themselves and enjoy what they give. Search a soul with them as the guide and let the page turn without disposition preset and upset from expectation. Ask a soul to tell about themselves and appreciate their existence and willingness to share. This can save a life. We live in a world trying to force people into boxes that just about nobody fits in.
