Dropping the stones, searching within
Those who have never experienced an addiction can seem unsympathetic and uncaring. Why? There are several reasons, like thinking that self-inflicting destruction does not deserve compassion, or maybe it’s the arrogance of thinking they themselves would never be so blind as to let something like that happen to them. I feel the greater consideration would be, “is becoming captured in the dependency of a chemical more offensive to God than any other type of obsessive attraction or dependence?” Is drug addiction more of a sin than the addiction of overeating, pornography, alcohol, anger, exaggerating, or gambling. Many in today’s world have even developed a dependency associated with social media. So, why is it easier to discriminate and have prejudice against another addict than for example, someone who lies or cheats on their taxes? Maybe for some, it’s easier to condemn someone that in their denial is considered higher on the list of intentional destructive behavior. 06/10/2025 04:34 AM
