Drug advertising is everywhere so what is the message being drummed into us and our children? That for every symptom and sensation the solution is a pill? The growing attitude that drugs are the answer for every ache and angst is destructive for individuals and societies.
Do you think we rely on pharmaceutical drugs too much?

Michael,
I understand your concerns. For too long I have been having similar concerns. The longer I experienced these concerns along with the desire to change this situation (by counteracting “the system”), the more exhausted, drained and discouraged I have become. At some point I realized that conflicting with “the system” was not going to win anything and at the same time it was going to destroy me.
Since then, instead of going against selfish energies, I have been aligning myself with expanding energies of collaboration and sharing. I found that by going this route, I stopped feeling so isolated and upset. Instead I have become energized, motivated and my sense of purpose has increased tremendously. The more of us join this trickle sooner, the sooner it will become an unstoppable river. The more pharmaceutical advertisements we see, the more desperate the pharmaceutical companies become, seeing their bottom line shrinking. It’s happening slowly, yet more and more every day.
Peace.
