Conscience. That's funny.

But I sit back and think about it for a second... "Do I really NEED that beer (or shot of whiskey or whatever your poison of choice may be)?" It would probably make me feel alot better. It'd send signals to the frontal lobe in my brain (this is what most people refur to as the conscience, the part that tells us right & wrong), heightening my dopamine (dopamine is like your own personal flow of exctasy) levels for about 30 minutes until oops, I dont feel happy and carefree anymore... your natural level of dopamine is now lower than it originally was and you need another beer or other substance to raise that level.

Now if I needed that beer, it isn't because so much my body has become dependant on it, but my mind has. Eventually the frontal lobe in the brain will quit working and the alcohol seeps its way into the midbrain (this is what most refur to as the "pleasure box" of the brain). However, this is not just refuring to sex. This pertains to EVERYTHING in your daily life, down to your basic necessities, and even daily problem solving.

Basically, once your right from wrong button is shut off, all you want to do after is what feels good or what feels "right" ...

A couple of rowdy nights of this can be fun, but when your brain starts to tell you that it needs that beer to function is when your natural exctasy is all out of wack and you can't really enjoy much naturally anymore. Unless you have made the natural choice to continue drinking the beer because it seems like a lifestyle that fits you.

OR-
For those with superior mind control.

If you feel like the previous statements do not apply to you... habitual use may. Just that physical habit or religous act of something you do over and over again can be something we all become dependant on and then once it's gone- or even just the idea or letting it go can be scary in fear of having nothing there in it's place.

Thus, tying into my previous post about THOUGHT and REALITY.

I have to say that out of all the narley definitions given off of dictionary.com, I am very unsatisfied with the one given for reality (the state or quality of being real). That could mean ANYTHING, ladies and gentlemen! Basically, reality is how you percieve it to be. Listed No.5 Philosophy.

If you want something bad enough... eventually you'll put yourself in a situation or your mind into a state in which you need that thing. But it's all about how long you allow yourself to stay in that state which determines your sanity, your philosophy, and yes- your reality. And if where you want to be allows for that thing to be there as well.

Why is it that we always want what we can't have? Is it some sort of problem that we try to solve or is it because we tell ourselves that we can't have it or maybe because others have said we can't have or achieve that thing? Mick Jagger help me out, "Sometimes... you might find... you get what you need."

Now I really want a beer.
