Losing your mind..

I hereby decide that I'm not going to be part of this madness any more. When I see people losing control on their bodies and their mind, shouting like hooligans, falling over each other, saying random things, being unaware of their behaviour and making a fool of themselves, I know in an instant that I don't want to be a part of them. These people who spend their hard earned money for being in this state, have they ever, even once, thought about donating a few rupees or dirhams in charity, a few pennies to spare for those who don't have a square meal and go to sleep empty stomach, I'm sure never. Man was supposed to provide for food, clothing and shelter for themselves. How did life become so complicated that they had to let loose by getting high on alcohol? Weren't we born to live meaningful lives and pursue excellence? What does one get out of consumption of excess amounts of alcohol, what does that temporary high mean? Why aren't people chasing the high that the wright brothers got out of inventing an airplane? Or the high that van gogh got out of painting one of his masterpieces? Young people in today's generation spend a substantial part of their incomes on something that adds no value to their lives. Do they think of those days when their mothers didn't buy a new dress for themselves so they could save for their kids? Or that child on the street who sleeps with one hand on its stomach and has unfiltered tap water to quench his thirst? Yes, this arguement can be extended to expensive clothes, shoes and bags too. Yes, why not? But at least ur not making a fool of yourself while wearing that rolex watch? You don't need two people to hold you while you try to walk straight. Your parents taught you how to walk and they hoped you would be able to do that all your life. But no, you let a chemical control your brain and get nothing productive out of it. Not a penny of my hard earned money is going to go into this anymore. I'd rather spend that on charity.. At least for once, I need to stand up for something I feel is right.
