If you could live in a drunken stupor, would you?
So I just came back to work from a 3 day labor day weekend. it was nice not to have to get up early and drag myself to work. I watched some football, did some yard work, and did all the little things I just never seem to get time to do. My wife was sure to buy us some "beverages" for the weekend, and that was nice as well. I was thinking to myself - "what if it could always be like this?" - with the relaxation, getting things done, and then I thought, "what if you could just exist in a drunken stupor with no side-effects?"
what I mean is a reality that is everyday euphoria with no worries. a reality where you can just go from minute to minute, hour to hour with none of the anxiety that comes with the daily stress of going to work, to school, driving in traffic and paying the bills. of course the down-side would be that those things would take a back seat, and at some point. you will have to address them. that would be interesting.
I realize this probably sounds like "The Matrix" or something. Reality is mostly perceived by the individual, and yet, there are things that happen in the "global consciousness" that affect everyone. I can change my life just by reacting and perceiving things in a different way. not to say that is easy, but it can be done. It happens to many people after life-changing events.
so I guess I would probably choose to create and stay in my current reality rather than choose the euphoria-induced reality. that is just my choice. what would you choose?
