All of these trials and sufferings will someday (sometimes not soon enough) fade away and we will make the trade beauty for ashes.

Really?!? This is a very poetic line that romaticizes death and the assumed afterlife...but I really think this type of statement makes life and belief in this type of religion seem like such a cop out...that one can do whatever, commit murder and just because he/she trusts in God/Jesus and asks for forgiveness that all is right in the world and the "next life" will be beautiful.

If you haven't guessed already, I am not Christian, and I do have a hard time with the word "God" How can anyone put their lives in the hands of a book they cal "THE word" when it has been translated thousands upon thousands of times from all languages. There are words in many languages that have no equivalent translation, so I am certain there is much that has been lost in translation. Please, for all your own sake LOOK at life, LOOK in awe at the beauty and contrast in life her NOW, in THIS moment...the present moment is the only one you have. If there is a "god" it is the oneness and connectedness of life and the continuous/unending cycle which happens with or with out a book or a belief to tell you how you "should" live and what will happen if you do or do not "obey" by the tennets of a religion. There is much to be taken from the book to learn from and apply to life, but to make it the only thing one LIVES by...you are missing so much and the expansiveness (is that a word?! lol) of thought and opportunities around you.

As far as drugs go...well, it seems it is an Alice in Wonderland world of experience with lots of ups and downs. But there are plenty of reasons that they be made available and taken...and that is for the simple reason if only for connection and understanding with the people in this world. Every walk of life deserves to feel and experience love, and that is one hard thing to do when you shut the lights out to the rest of the world (or if it feels like the world has shut them out on you), stuck in a mind that swings from high to low with very little reprieve in between, the damaging words and actions that are imparted on oneself or others. these things are all part of a disconnection to life around us.

So, you choose to live with what you've got and not take any drugs (plenty do), take meds and perhaps have to deal with side effects and the run-around of finding the right chemical balance, or decide to turn yourself into ashes. The point is YOU CHOOSE. You have a choice. It's that simple. And right now, what's offered as a pharmecuetical candy shop might not be the best fit...and I agree the pharma needs a lot of work...there should never be a question about one's ability to afford a drug before they are able to take it. There should be much more research done on naturally derrived solutions or preventions. Forums like these and the Alternative board can be incredibly helpful. So hopefully, you choose to live life and attempt to reverse the brain damage with more natural alternatives with much success.

To life, love, and happiness....sooner rather than later.
