The reason society assigns romance to these people is that they have the courage to take risks, and those risks have rewards.<br /><br />The problem is if you are doing self-destructive things without the passion. If you don't live a richer, more exciting, more wonderful life by taking these risks, then it's a waste of time. If you are drinking to cope, then you are using a bad method. If you are drinking to laugh, joke, and sing songs with strangers, then that's a hell of a lot better than staying home and watching tv.<br /><br />I'd rather be Shane MacGowan than Harry Reid, but I'd also rather be suburban Mr. Boring than some of the miserable alcoholics I have seen in my social work.<br /><br />This is a fantastic topic for discussion.Dan Binmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09631203781543243534noreply@blogger.com
