Realities of a drugged up midnight oil

Some real writing for once.. because I’m not always on the clock.

I know when I put work and effort into something. Being lazy by nature I can’t burn the midnight oil every night. I have always admired and appreciated the energy involved for those that can burn incessantly. You know those types; always working and at the desk with what seems almost like 24/7.

It is my belief that any extreme can never stay extreme. What I mean by that is momentum in certain directions eventually hit a brick wall. Gravity is not something always relating to physics. Whatever the addiction, I believe will always have “karmic” repercussions. It might be a snap back, or perhaps drugs to mask it and possibly create new “bad karma”.

My parents were young adults during the vietnam era. In fact one of my parents was at the now infamous Kent University shootings. My father was seeing his friends get sent off and returning in body bags. He did not support the war even though he believed in America. Fortunately for him in that he didn’t have to dodge the draft, he just needed to get lucky; which he did. This era was known for peace and love and anti-war. Lots of psychodelic drugs as well.

I know that our current era is also into psychodelic drugs. Has anything changed since then? In this current era I have heard it argued that kids taking drugs has expanded to the sphere of better grades academically. In another category, children are diagnosed with what seems scalable spectrums of “disorders”. Once a drug is prescribed it has an effect on behavior and studies whether good or bad.

On every scale and range of birth there are conditions set for a drugged up nation. The only differences are that some are deemed legal when prescribed, and taxed. Some argue the regulation helps to make things “safer”. Well I’m sure there are drugs that have been pulled because later they were deemed later on to have dangerous side effects. 

Without  trying  to go into endless tangents, I’ll zip back to the start of this blog and state I’m lazy. With the right motivation anyone can move. I know I’m the type that could use a good kick in the ass to move. Could I ever see myself becoming more energetic in order to burn the midnight oil? Probably only with drugs; which I would never do, at least to not burn the
midnight oil. Does any of this fit with a drugged up nation? No, it just shows the intricate web of different thoughts and actions. Life is a layer cake where the past, present, and future fluidly touches on other realities. When debating anyone you have to anticipate where a person is coming from. What does burning the midnight oil mean to you? Guaranteed it’s not as simple of an answer.
