When someone lies to me or embellishes a story, and I see through them, I want to leave them, because it brings out a little anger and negativity that i don't need or want in my life.

Things we do that shift our internal balance or mood or awareness to something different, something we like better. What I don't like is when people assume their medicine is more "spiritual" or more "healthy" than someone else's or make the ones they don't like illegal. We all have our "stuff". I wish we'd all just own it and have a little sympathy and compassion for other people's medicines. Instead of "Yours is depraved, mine is divine." I wish they'd switch to, "Don't mess with my high. I won't mess with yours." But alas, the moral police are pretty active on this front and have a lot invested in their world views...What matters to me is not what medicine people use or how much, it's how they behave, how they treat me, and how they treat the world and the people in their lives. I won't "break up" with a friend because they drink too much. I'll break up with them because they miss appointments, break their agreements and are no fun to hang out with.www.GeneBurnett.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06942629399894224165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581786318833236127.post-77571190912253961162012-01-28T21:20:33.176-08:002012-01-28T21:20:33.176-08:00I love this way of looking at "medicine"...I love this way of looking at "medicine" I dont know how often I face and relate to anything head on, untempered by a mitigating aid of some kind. Would you call simplification and generalization a medicine? at what point does something become a medicine and when is it just a mode of effective functioning?
