Pop A Pill Culture

There is a pill for any problem.
Just pop a pill and your problems are all solved. Instantly !

In the past decades our self diagnosis attitude towards pain and problem made us behave the way we do today. There are many pharmaceutical companies taking the free ride on our instant gratification seeking nature. There is a huge misconception that bearing pain is a disease and needs to be diagnosed and removed instantly. The habit that we have become so accustomed to is that nobody should feel any sort of mental or physical pain because the ad on tv is telling us. Because everybody else around us do. The strong urge to fit in and follow blindly is at every turn.

When you are down and low just pop a pill and never question why, don't ask yourself why pleasure comes right after the pain or why pleasure is the bi-product of pain.
 like the old proverb says:

 No pain, No gain

The problem does not end there. This is just the tip of the ice-burg. Now a days every kid who runs, and plays energetically is diagnosed with ADHD or some sort. Or if they do not fit in the rest of the group they are tagged as outcast and they need to go on a different medication, the pills !

The problem should be fixed from the source, the root.
Numbing pain is not treatment, it is an addiction.
So when you are in pain don't bear the pain, just pop a pill.
when down and low, numb it instantly, just pop a pill.
Trust me it will work, just pop a pill.

Rules and borders

Wednesday, April 29, 2015 Maz


What are rules? what are borders for?
The answer lies in our mindset to keep out and stay out.
They are made up, I mean we made them up. We want to communicate that there are rules that need to be followed and the borders that need to keep you out/in.

The bigger question is this, how good of a follower am I? 
I mean how good we follow the rules blindly every day without noticing or even being aware we are doing so. 

Of course many of these rules and borders are in place for a reason. some for good and some bad. Bad in a sense that because everyone is following them we feel the need to do as well. If our mentality is just to follow blindly, not questioning the reasons behind everything we are truly trapped. We are trapped in a cage called ignorance. By the time we fully understand these  rules and borders are for, we stay in the cage. The growth is on the other side, out there where the uncertainty lies. Borders are meant to be crossed and rules are meant to be questioned. Thats the whole purpose, to experience something else and not to just follow blindly.
