Drugs, Actors and Sons..!

“That’s my cousin!” whispered my friend, as we looked at a bedraggled, shabby, girl, hair matted and unkempt, looking at us with haggard eyes, in one of the bye-lanes in the city. He went up to her, but when he offered her a meal instead of money, which was certainly for her next dose of drugs, she ran away.
“Hers is a sad story!” my friend whispered and told me a tale of unrequited love which made her seek recourse in drugs.
I do understand such tales, but when I hear about actors and now a son of one falling prey to the tentacles of this evil habit, I stop and ponder: Most of these good men and women, have enough money and more, enough fame and more, then obviously it is not frustration or a broken heart that leads then to this addiction.
I am certainly not going to generalize, but most often it is boredom!
The boredom of not having to work anymore for fame or success, the boredom, when they find the fame and money they so wished for, doesn’t give them the satisfaction they thought it would give. That the thought of fancy cars, bungalows and beautiful women drove him or her relentlessly to work hard to achieve recognition, and when those cars, women and houses arrived, they came with a huge vacuum that screamed, “I am still not satisfied!”
The craving mind was dissatisfied, and the only way the mind could attain satisfaction was in lulling it into a false sense of a temporary utopia; drugs! And in those injected or inhaled moments, he was able to drift into artificially, stimulated excitement.
And this doesn’t limit itself to only actors or their sons or only to the intake of drugs. I watch and see politicians who incensed with unlimited power, assault and rape, as if it is their birthright. As when they who are sometimes caught are led off to jail, the world wonders was there a need for such dastardly crime? Wasn’t being a minister enough?
No it wasn’t! After reaching there his dissatisfied self, wanted more.
What then, the solution?
To be able to work for success with a peaceful self, also to realize that satisfaction does not come from outside pleasures but inside joy!
The one who got our freedom from the British; Gandhiji, realized this, and worked to master himself, before trying to reach his near impossible goal.
Poor twenty-three year old boy, he didn’t know what hit him, but if he comes out of this mess, understanding that all his father’s name and wealth are useless, and that a simple learning of finding peace, joy and satisfaction within will work, then his days inside won’t be in vain, and he will come out with a new message, not written on needle pricked arm, but in a heart that has found peace within himself..!

  1. Thank God I wasn’t born into a family with riches and wealth but into a family who taught me the 23rd Psalm. Isn’t having all I ever want sufficient?

  2. We pray for His wisdom and grace to prevail upon the youth of today leading them to recognise that the only true source of peace and happiness is the One who created them, nothing and nobody else Amen ?

  3. It’s not the richness. Drugs are available for all and anybody can get hooked right from the guy who lives in slums to guys who liive in Mannat style buildings. You got to make the right choice to live a graceful life.

  4. Crime and Punishment was about a drug addict who killed an old lady for money to buy the drugs. It made him so guilty that he got himself caught. Inner peace comes from a clear conscience not jobs,drugs, riches, fame or position.

  5. Thank you for the thought provoking articles. May God bless you. I pray for healing to all the children who are caught in the drug trap. May you all be released n may you find peace within you.
