I think at times people take drugs and alcohol to try to gain pleasure. A chemical transmission. What is feeling? I think feeling is a chemical transmission. I think chemical transmissions that i am not involved in recognizing, happen everywhere but my life. what is pain, what is pleasure, what is neutral. I think there are implosions, explosions, and frozen. I am wondering what you think feeling is. I am also willing to open a side bar on why things might move.
people take drugs and alcohol to avoid feeling. Even prescription drugs are there to dull the feelings of so called 'negative emotions' . And yet to be human is to experience the full spectrum of emotions/feelings. Hormones affect our feelings. We can't choose our feelings, we can't take credit for them BUT we can take credit for our actions. It is our behaviour that defines us. Act in spite of what you might be feeling. Then you can take credit.
Yes, sounds right to me.
