The inner pulse is the essence that links the soul to the mind and body, the marker that predicts whether a person's life force is fading.

Past antidrug campaigns actually encouraged drug use. A few years ago, America stopped dropping acid altogether. The meth epidemic peaked a long, long time ago. NAFTA opened the border and created a bonanza for cocaine and meth traffickers just as President Clinton knew it would. President Reagan may have inadvertently caused the crack epidemic.

È possibile guardare alla depressione, anziché come a un mostro che ci terrorizza e ci annienta, come a una dimensione emotiva tra le tante, che può concorrere al benessere e alla stabilità personale non meno di quegli stati d'animo che consideriamo di segno positivo, come la gioia e la speranza. È bene convincersi che non si guarisce dal "mal di vivere" perché è parte integrante, ed essenziale, della nostra esperienza affettiva.

We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it’s ever been—we are freer, healthier, and wealthier than any people in human history.
