As I sit here by my pool in South Florida and watch my pup swim and have her best life, my mind wonders, and I start deep thinking.
Here’s what came to mind.
Is the modern world really that wonderful? Are we better off or worser for it?
Sometimes, we feel so lucky and fortunate to be alive here on earth at this time. Other times, it may be too much.
We think about the centuries before us and how simple it was. Also, how boring it would have been. What did they do for fun?
I wonder, though, this modern world we live in is so stimulating and anything and everything is available that we get bored easier because we want more? When does everything become not enough and leave some of us wanting more?
When alcohol is no longer enough, or we drink more and more to reach that “buzz” some of us add drugs to the mix, which leads to more consumption of both alcohol and/or more drugs to get the stimulation we desperately craving for.
When is enough enough? When are we going to be stimulated by just being?
What brought me to thinking about this was because I heard about a new beverage called Bonbuzz. It’s a non alcoholic beverage that stimulates the brain like alcohol but does not give the negative effects that come with alcohol.
I was so excited to hear about it and ordered it right away from Amazon. But, then, like I said, I started thinking, why am I so excited about drinking this? Do I need to drink this? I’m a little scared, to be honest about taking a drink, but I really wondered why I, we in society need this in our life?
Don’t get me wrong, like I said, I do want to try it, and I think it’s a great no, amazing alternative to alcohol. I’m happy when I read about the younger and some older generations stepping back from alcohol. It’s quite impressive but we have a long way to go, and alcohol will always be available, but it’s nice to see people are waking up to the damage alcohol does to those who can not tolerate it, and for those souls that think they can.
So that’s basically in a nut shell where my mind went. Some pondering on a sunny afternoon in SoFlo.
Thanks for reading!
