as far as I can, as much as I can, as long as I can; to live without substitutes.
Without deadeners.
Without mind-altering, numbing substances.
Without caffeine.
We can live without life and we can smile without happiness. We can touch without feeling, we can speak without understanding, we can sit together and talk without ever once making a connection.
Part of the responsibility of living is to live truly, and boldly.
Otherwise, all of life is just palliative care. And that would truly be a tragedy no drug can ease, though it may take the edge off it.
