When I was in college I chose to start drinking and then to join a fraternity. I wasn’t the pretty person, had a hard time solidifying close friendships. I still was pining over someone that I might have done better to stay away from in the first place.
I had a friend that tried to discourage me from joining a fraternity and drinking. He made a good argument yet the words were not such that I would appreciate, comprehend and understand them for their full value. He likely could not appreciate and comprehend them for their full value, so was potentially unable to deliver them like someone who had experienced years of drinking and bars, problems associated with fraternities.
Able to deliver words that people will actually appreciate and listen to is far from a given, far from a given at younger ages. People without experience are telling people without experience what to do is not always listened to or heard. Getting tone and delivery right at a young age is difficult, people are competitive and people disagree on discernment and judgment. Don’t judge is powerful, yet can lead to failure to assess at times, failure to fully weigh the pros and the cons.
Easy to upsell a God full of infinite power has the potential to protect me, and if He does not, I am kind of already screwed anyways. That logic might lead to buyin to situations that are less than ideal, that complicate life in less than sufficient at times ways. Just because you live through somethings does not equal your life might not have been better if you chose a different better route. People at a young age make decisions based on desires for popularity, improved image and networking that has the potential to drive close to excessive alcohol, drugs, and questionable systems like hazing.
Friendships around drugs and alcohol don’t always last. Drugs and Alcohol might create proximity to legal situations where police, undercover agents, and drug cartels all create a competitive environment that leaves people just trying to make friends and socialize stranded in the middle. People make future employment decisions based upon knowns from the past. People that might desire government, police, or jobs in authority might be limited by decisions to try and socialize and make friends. Relationships might be limited, all based upon heresay, proximity to non ideals.
Life is less than ideal forgetfullness added. Computers and Government Systems hold data for long periods of time, and Useful has shown precedent for factoring into More Useful. The Church claims forgivness, society talks about Peace and Forgiveness, yet really does not deliver on that as expected. People are not all eye for an eye out by default, are not all forgiveness in by default, and even people that say they forgive don’t usually forget, don’t usually not factor into judgment.
A system that claims forgiveness when you actually need to walk a more perfect line seems to be more true in these days. People are still less than perfect, people still make mistakes does not equal society is more willing to work with people, appreciates all of its inadequacies that deliver reduced comprehension that leads to non ideal decisions. A system of Max Profit usually factors past knowledge into useful for some, useful for profiting some and not others. People are taught to think better of others, yet if people were more weary of what could happen, of how data and trust could be misused they likely would invest in excessive drinking and social environments with drugs less. Not always about the people you are partying with, could be about the people that are watching them, included as one via categorized and classify is a system that can be value added and value subtracted for many years to come.
The past might be claimed as forgiven. Yet during hard times or when you try to call out injustices against your own life people might factor that into judgment, the fact that you had a less than ideal past into decision making about who gets support and who does not. Life and USA, Max Profit and Useful amps forgiveness and good memory less than sufficiently. Always wonder if it is about a bad choice from the past does not feel all good. Less anxiety, less to worry about, less to explain, less to complicate is power, specially for important fields, and they are generally all important fields with the potential for abuse, thus people might use it to capitalize on who gets jobs an who does not.
Might not seem like that big of a deal. Imagine a War, things change. Image a Recession and Depression, things change. Less to complicate is power that is not always available at times. Good decision making has potential to fall under peer pressure, endless shots, trying to look cool and impress women. Decision making is likely to be less than ideal, could lead to drunk driving, wrecked cars and wrecked lives. One of many problems that has the potential to arise via reduced discernment.
Dependence on Alcohol is less than ideal at times. Alcohol reduces anxiety, or at least did for me, yet caused more, and there were times where using alcohol was not wise, thus anxiety becomes more profound. People enable reliance on systems like coffee, alcohol, legal and illegal drugs at times that are temporary throughput only to have your life held hostage by it at a later time. Drinking water, less drugs is value, value some might wish they had more access to.
People that are not Diabetic, or do not have medical conditions that require constant medication are blessed yet might not always appreciate the blessing of being able to rely upon water and less drugs with potentially iffy throughput. Aspirin might help get the blood flowing, yet how much value would walking a mile add to cardio? If we imagined exercise like a pill, taking a pill that would be like walking a mile, would we forgo the pill and walk the mile? Pill solves the symptoms at times, yet might delay action towards the cause that could produce profound and game changing results.
