We are a culture of addiction, addiction to drugs, alcohol,
tobacco, eating and sex. Addiction has become a social disease and an economic
burden. But addiction also comes out of the cultural need for pleasure as well
as the need to escape into pleasure.
When there is no deep pleasure in life, work or human
relationships, escape into addiction becomes a sad option--for pleasure or even
adventure. It becomes easy for our society to allow lives and potential to be
wasted, especially among the young.
