yesterday i was thinking,

our society breeds desperation

in health

spirituality

physical appearance

you keep people desperate, you keep them needing whatever it is you want to push on them

after surgery, a doctor cautions that failing to adhere to a strict regiment of pharmaceuticals could result in all sorts of complications and disasters, failing to emphasize the complications and disasters that could arise from taking them

they make it seem like the drugs are the ONLY way to reduce pain and the risk of infection, but there really are no guarantees

the risk of suffering dangerous side effects is extremely high

but they kick it to you like those things are unlikely to happen

"well if you don't take this you will lose your vision. if you do take it, yea maybe you'll be a little nauseous, maybe have some headaches, moods wings...blah blah..."

and what can you do you? risk your vision?

of course you're going to go out and spend money on whatever they tell you will fix you

because you're afraid and the "expert" told you to

lesson: always get a second opinion...third and fourth and fifth, even.

I appreciate you *Lester*
