“ If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution-then, it seems to me, all our problems (and not merely the one small problem of discovering a novel pleasure) would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise. „
Aldous Huxley (via micahbaldwin)
That could be true, but we could also work on changing our perspectives and personalities to allow for all of those things. Implying that we need a miracle drug belittles the tremendous capacity for change that we all have within us.
