Fragile

You can talk nonsense, but you can't take medicine indiscriminately. Talking about the corrosion of drugs on the mind and body, one line is the retired mother taking diet pills to go on TV, the other is the son who has achieved nothing and other young friends who are addicted to drugs. It started out well, but at the end it got a little pedagogical when it started to deliberately emphasize their tragic end. In fact, selling one's body, amputating limbs, going to jail, going mad, it's pretty miserable, but it's not the highest level of misery, even without drugs. There are too many temptations in this world and people who can't resist temptation. Easier to wash the prodigal son back. It is true that poor ghosts are more likely to indulge in some simple things that can bring some kind of happiness than those who are
busy and happy, so that they can temporarily escape and forget those unpleasant things that cannot seem to be escaped in reality. Therefore, rather than saying that drugs are too bad, it is better to say that humans are vulnerable as higher animals. Good pleasures, habits, will, a well-loved way of earning a living, loving your relatives and friends that you won't let go of, these are the good things that truly resist the fall.
