Why is crack cocaine so cheap? Because it's easy to manufacture. Why do dealers offer free samples to new buyers?
Topic #1: My Brother
My brother was a very outstanding human being.
4.0 Student, respectable personality, nice person, the works!
Drugs ruined his life. Now he is a 30-year-old man that cleans toilets for a living.
His social life is non-existant. He hasn't had a girlfriend 'since he was 18. He makes minimum wage.
My brother has health problems. Diabetes. High-Blood Pressure. He's a smoker. Alcoholic.
How did this all happen?
My brother was offered a cigarette when he was an 8th grader in middle school.
This is why you do not take Summer School. Especially not in New York City!
Goddamnit brother, why did you take the cigarette?
He didn't just stop at cigarettes either; the drugs elevated from cough syrup to alcohol and higher...
Now my brother works at a Starbucks. He has been laid off from job after job.
He makes minimum wage. He cannot afford health insurance. He used to be an Honors 4.0 student.
Topic #2: The Meaning of Life
The American ideal is described as "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness".
Help me for a bit, think of the happiest person you've known in your life?
What has made that person so happy? Chances are, they are not the "perfect" person.
They are probably awkward and they might not be the most popular person you know.
Heck, they aren't party-goers! They aren't the perfect student, either. What makes them such happy people? The truth is that these people have experienced the pure joy...
These people have experienced the true meaning of life!
Some people believe the true meaning of life to be love.
To know the true meaning of life is to observe beauty...
To know the true meaning of life is to live like a madman.
The Pure of Joy of Being Alive!
That is what you should live for!
Do you think the purple grinning woman has much to be thankful for?
She is probably a poor peasant from a farmer village. She might even have outlived her children.
Outliving your children is one of the few things that I would never, ever want to experience...
But in the midst of ultimate despair, this woman still manages to put out a beaming smile!
But she is lucky to be alive! She cherishes everyday as if it would be her last.
Live life to its fullest. Never say sorry. Be yourself. Don't be a slave to society!
