[Ol' Dan Tucker]

Much of which is caused by the pursuit of pleasure through drugs.

Just a symptom of the underlying problem, not the cause. Treating the symptom will never cure the patient.

[DiogenesLamp]

Just a symptom of the underlying problem, not the cause. Treating the symptom will never cure the patient.

Allowing him to indulge in pharmacological escapism won't cure him either, in fact it makes a cure even more remote.
