I'VE ALWAYS FIGURED THAT LIFE IS ABOUT FINDING HAPPINESS. NOT THE
TE-HEE KIND OF HAPPINESS, BUT "THE" HAPPINESS. CONTENTMENT.
SATISFACTION. LOVE. SECURITY. JOY. ON-TOP-OF-THE WORLD KIND OF
HAPPINESS. IT'S HARD TO MAINTAIN, BUT I'M SURE YOU HAVE FELT IT. THAT
KIND OF HAPPINESS DOESN'T COME CHEAP, BECAUSE THE PATH IS FILLED WITH
CHALLENGES. YOU LOOK FOR A SHORTCUT. AND THERE IS NO BETTER ENTICEMENT
THAN DRUGS. DRUGS CAN TAKE YOU AWAY FROM YOUR TROUBLES; AWAY FROM THE
CHALLENGES; THE PRESSURES; THE FAILURES; THE POVERTY; IN A WAY THAT
NOTHING ELSE CAN. IT'S AVAILABLE. FAST. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, UNFORGIVING.
THE "HAPPINESS" IS SHORT-LIVED. WHAT SEEMS LIKE A HEAVENLY SENT RELIEF
SOON TURNS INTO HELL. YOU FIND YOURSELF ON A ONE-WAY STREET TO NOWHERE.
NO ONE WHO BECOMES DEPENDENT IS SPARED THE TRIP. NOT THE RICH, THE POOR,
BLACK, WHITE, FEMALE, MALE, GRANDMA, GRANDPA, HUSBAND, WIFE, KIDS. THE
LINE GOES STRAIGHT DOWN. (continued).
