Obviously therefore true religion cannot be a vice. Most likely those who disapprove of religion would be those ignorant ones who prefer to wallow in vice as they have not yet experienced the bliss of freedom from vice.violet wrote: ↑Mon Apr 17, 2023 11:10 pmUnless you think more deeply…
The mean between virtue and vice is …Aristotle defined vice and virtue as: vice is an excess or deficiency of virtue, and virtue is the mean between two accompanying vices that exists within a “sphere”…moderation, or striving for a balance between extremes. … The golden mean focuses on the middle ground between two extremes
And, finally …… Many disapprove of religion/religious beliefs and behaviours - therefore, religion might be considered a vice by some.Virtues are the character traits that your society approves of, whereas vices are the traits it disapproves of

The NHS turned me into a junkie with pain control mess such as morphine tramadol gabapentin etc. Found peace of mind and a much better way of life once I took control of dosage etc. I will never be able to stop taking them but I am happy that they are no longer controlling me.

An aspect of addiction that I always find curious.MarkArmstrong wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 7:36 am The NHS turned me into a junkie with pain control mess such as morphine tramadol gabapentin etc. Found peace of mind and a much better way of life once I took control of dosage etc. I will never be able to stop taking them but I am happy that they are no longer controlling me.
I had access to a sizeable NHS bottle of morphine. (Legally, I hasten to add). Yet never was close to hooked. Despite previously appreciating the pleasant effects of a dose limited by a machine set to ‘that’s your lot’, which felt good, but didn't really touch the pain. Just made it more acceptable.
I think my addiction was skinned knuckles in engine bays…

You have a great degree of strong will and self control. Most patients don’t have what you have. They expect something now. NHS is run by people who want to make them happy now. People don’t like to be told to find a peace of mind, unfortunately.
Medicines should never be in control.
Just my opinions, of course.

Strange thing was that morphine wasn't an issue, the gabas lyrical and various triptylines were as they turned me into a zombieFreightdog wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2023 4:30 pmAn aspect of addiction that I always find curious.MarkArmstrong wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 7:36 am The NHS turned me into a junkie with pain control mess such as morphine tramadol gabapentin etc. Found peace of mind and a much better way of life once I took control of dosage etc. I will never be able to stop taking them but I am happy that they are no longer controlling me.
