While attending a technology journalist conference on the Indonesian island Bintan, I had time to ponder anew the question of how to find the ultimate and perfectly safe drug.
I also learned to make an unequivocal choice for the rest of my life.
Yes, short term fun can be had in alcohol, tobacco and various other avenues of escape; but is there a drug that continues to fulfil, without even one unfortunate side effect?
My drug of choice is something called meditation; a loose term applied to hundreds of techniques. The journey and the daily tastes of bliss and insight are highly addictive. There are also hundreds of other benefits that cannot be written about, which come with deeper meditative states.
Even those without desire - saints - are addicted to the most powerful of all drugs…those who have tested all desires will know of what I speak.
