14/30: The answer is within the question

[The Bookhouse Bot]

​

Sometimes, we want to hide from ourselves.

We do not want to be us.

It is too difficult to be us.

[chews pitch gum]

It is at these times that we turn to drugs or alcohol or behavior to help us forget that we are ourselves.

This, of course, is only a temporary solution to a problem which is going to keep returning.

And, sometimes, these temporary solutions are worse for us than the original problem.

Yes, it is a dilemma.

Is there an answer?

Of course there is.

As a wise person said with a smile:

The answer is within the question.
