Beware of Heroin
4 December 2008
Heroin (diacetylmorphine), an addictive opiate, creates the euphoria of feeling
healthy and pain-free, and the sickness of being fragile and hypersensitive to
pain. The euphoria of feeling healthy and pain-free, and the sickness of being
fragile and hypersensitive to pain, are polar opposites, which reinforce each
other: the euphoria blinds you to the sickness; and the sickness makes you
crave the euphoria. Ironically, heroin creates and aggravates the very sickness
it seems to cure.
