Why is it…
I got wondering last night/this morning. Why is it that when you have a drink or two and get slightly “buzzed” (not drunk) you get happy? Problems seem not as problematic, the moment is where it’s at, and life is wonderful. People also say that when you drink, more “truth” comes out…so, if that’s so, does that mean that that “happy,” live-in-the-moment state is our truer nature? I think it is. So the key is finding out how to achieve that state sans alcohol. The alcohol obviously allows us to let go of a lot of mental stuff (yeah, sometimes too much, I know), and we are able to just enjoy life. This is obviously the appeal of drinking. I want to find ways to mentally “let go” and be in the moment all on my own. Hmmm…
