What is life? A struggle or a dream? Perhaps both. If it is one, life is action and if it is other, life is contemplation. It is an old conception that life is a stage and men and women merely players. Rich or poor, all players must play their parts and act them well for in action only is their life. This can be matched with Shakespeare’s:
All the world’s stage
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
The acts being seven ages
Today the fact is our young generation has explicitly spelled out the term’s action and wants to live in contemplation. Although action and contemplation both constitutes the life, they are inseparable. But even for the contemplation there needs some action.
All around the world people value several things, some of which are freedom, expanding and taking care of the families and our financial security. The people take such things for granted. Drug abuse is one of the most discouraged behaviors in our country. Use of illegal drugs is harmful to the user and all those with whom the user comes in contact. There are over 40 million illegal drug users in the world today and America is the biggest market for drugs. There are more drug dealers in this country, than there are dentists. Illegal drug abuse must be stopped; it hurts our society, hurts us and most of all, it hurts the user. “Drug users are parasites, feeding off society's money, taxes and insurance. Every type of insurance goes up because of drug abuse, including auto, health and homeowners. Worst of all, the crime rate will sky rocket if we let this behavior continue”. (Armstrong, 1997) Illegal drugs and their abusers are a plague to society for many different reasons................................
