Today in class we talked about the euphio effect. I was a little unsure what I actually believed in class. I thought about it after and I have come to the conclusion that I really do not think I would want to have anything to do with it. Although it seems okay and leaving no side effects, you waste your live away. It actually reminded me a lot of marijuana. So many people do it because it is the least damaging thing you can do. You have no addiction to it what so ever- or so people say. Even though you can go through no physical withdraw or addiction, there is very much a psychological addiction and a dependence on it in your mind and everyday life. Euphio seems to be that in a sense. People would get so dependent on it that feeling normal so to speak would not even feel normal to you anymore. If that even makes sense. People say you can not buy happiness, which in fact is true. Although I believe there really is no such thing as true happiness, happiness that will last forever, I most certainly do not believe that you can buy whatever happiness is out there. There are points in my life that I hold dear to me, times when I was in deed truly happy, and just the thought that those moments were just handed to me without even having to go through anything seems in a way cheating myself out of memories and a feeling of self accomplishment. Happiness is not something that people should just expect or be handed. To even be happy at all, some effort needs to be there so you are truly able to enjoy the moment or experience. Making yourself happy or feel complete needs to be on the shoulders of the individual, not just being able to get that by experiencing something called euphio.
