It is the drug addict.
Fundamentally, the drug addict is to blame. Without him there would
be no marijuana, coca and poppy, plantations, narcotic refining
laboratories, drug trafficking, money laundering or criminal
cartels.
It is the drug addict that finances all these
enterprises with an incomprehensible zeal and tenacity. It is he who
self eliminates any trace of human dignity and goes down to the lowest
depths anybody can reach or knows, and destroys his entire life in
exchange for a few moments of pleasure.
Lucifer did not have to make any special effort at
all to add these decadent souls to his ranks; they came running to
meet him on their own free will, bent on selling themselves for a few
miserable ephemeral sensations.
Then, how can one help a drug addict? Help is
always possible, presupposing that the addict wants to be helped, that
he is making an effort to get out of the nauseous bog that he so
diligently created, and where he wallows so pleasurably. Only after
making a great effort to get rid of his private filth, can he really
be considered as a person with a problem, disoriented and in need, who
really needs help and is worthy of it. Before all this happens, he is
nothing other than a worthless and unworthy “human” complement, an
extremely weak creature, a voluntary slave, a worm that is not aware
of just how repugnant he really is, who crawls through garbage
thinking he is floating on clouds, a dazzled fool who is dressed in
sequins convinced that he is wearing pure gold.
The drug addict resembles a coward that tries to
flee from life by throwing himself into a well. The best help than can
be given to somebody in these conditions - who wanted to fall into a
well - is to throw him a rope and encourage him to climb out of the
well using it.
Going down to the bottom of the well to bring back
the suicidal candidate in your arms, does not free him of his
self-destructive tendencies. If he were taken out of the well without
using his own will power, his members will remain atrophied. He will
continue to wander through life, fumbling miserably, obscured by the
sunlight that has become strange to him, all eager and willing in
search of the closest well, to once again be push into it by his
ever-present cowardice. Would this be true help?
Indeed, drug addicts should be encouraged to
redirect their lives, but not with sweet, pleasing and hypocritical
words, that impede them from recognizing the sad role that they acted
out. Words that give a false reality to the drug addicts are like an
even more dangerous narcotic to them, because they blunt any remaining
autonomous personality that he may have.
It is evident that a drug addict should be
submitted to a detoxication program, but as long as he also agrees to
do a detoxication of his soul, and radically change his internal
vibration too. Eventually, he will also need to understand that only
he can definitively tear out this stained page from his life-book.
Inappropriate condescendence does not restore the drug addict his lost
human condition; this, he must find himself, as it was he who let go
of it. And depriving him of his self-effort to inwardly improve is
nothing more than an act of false love and mechanical charity, because
through this he is robbed of the deserved happiness of rediscovering
and reconquering his own dignity at the outset.
Only through the recognition of his own fault is a
person who is still good able to provoke a drastic change in his way
of living, and never err again. And it is also through this
acknowledgement that he is motivated to find the necessary strength in
him to do this, presupposing naturally that he still kindles a small
flame of character inside him.
The cultivation and commerce of narcotics are one
of the biggest calamities of today. However, trying to combat drug
trafficking and the traffickers without considering the consumer,
preserving him and placing him aside, it is like trying to eradicate
the weeds by pruning them every now and then.
Then we would really be living a discouraging
situation, if the purifying winds that presently encompass Earth also
do not undertake it upon themselves to tear out all the roots and
everything of this harmful weed of the traffic and consumption of
drugs, independent of the human will and of its pitiful efforts to do
so. One way or the other this harmful weed will be effectively
eradicated. That is why now the time has come for the drug addicts to
stop cultivating their addiction that is if they do not want to become
part of the harvest as well.
