Answer by The Big E
If you have smoked weed every day for the last two years, you too are addicted whether you admit it to yourself and others or not. Insofar as your review of your brother’s weed smoking habit, that is especially not for you to be judging in light of the example you set for him. The blind are enviably not in a credible position to adequately lead the blind as both suffer the same impaired judgment before the process even begins. The greatest lies that hurt us most are the ones we tell ourselves.

What Percentage of the People Are Healthy?

Question by stc: What percentage of the people are healthy?
It is odd. I ask this half seriously, half not seriously….After you take away people who are drug addicted, have eating disorders, gambling problems, psychological disorders and physical challenges, addiction to online stuff. Attention deficent. All that is left are people who work hard at being physically fit. It’s odd.
There probably are a large chunk of people who are reasonably healthy in the world, but, it is weird to think about them. Whatever they do — why don’t we copy them? Professional athletes? Doctors? Healthy lawyers? It would be weird if the world were reduced down to primarily healthy people. What would they do? Not a lot of business for health carers and lawyers if everybody’s healthy. I’m just idle tonight so I fiddle with these thoughts.
