Whitney Houston is gone. Internet is buzzing. Another victim of drugs, boozing and stress. Our social activities are revolving around eating, drinking and nowadays drugs. Anything that make you high. Well, that woman did not need anything to get her 'high'. She was on top with success, beauty, talent. What killed her? Inability to handle stress? To say no to temptations?
How many more deaths do we need to realise how vulnerable we are and how careful we should be? 48 is not the age to perish. Well, it's too late for her. I cannot imagine all that grief for her daughter and the rest of her family and her fans. She was a wonderful actress and a beautiful talented woman. Such a waste of human life. She brought so much joy to people but there was no one to protect her from herself, from her obvious vulnerability towards everything that's so addictive and evil in our society, especially when you are so visible, a celebrity, a symbol, a status by yourself.
We love perfection, we crave it. We are ready to pay anything for it, even with our own health, even with our own life. We want perfect teeth, perfect figure, perfect life. Right now and always, and for ever. And when we cannot have it, we'll get some pills to correct it, or just to forget for a moment about all that stress involved in it. We don't even think twice. We need it now - perfect mood, perfect smile, perfect...
Stop for a moment! Please! Life cannot be perfect. We will always have our ups and downs. What is good for a movie, not always good for real life. You do not need pills for every occasion. You can tolerate pains and aches without drugs. We have lots of simple remedies that work and has been working for centuries, just find people who know them, usually they are not the main stream doctors, but they do exist.
Sometimes doctors are no better than drug sellers on the corner. They both are in desperate need for your money and your dependency on them. Take medication only if there is no alternative to it. Think twice before you take anything. If it's not food don't put it in your mouth. Your life if is too precious even if you are not Whitney Houston. You are unique human being and somebody somewhere loves you very much. You just don't know it yet.
