Myth- Alcohol relieves fear and worry
“Worrying decreases cleverness, sorrow decreases body, sin decreases Lakshmi, says,-Kabir Das”.
From this couplet of Kabir Das and from the research done till now, everyone knows that worrying is fatal for human beings. In today’s fast-paced world, every person wants a comfortable life and he works day and night to get this life.
One fine evening one was just about to leave the office and came the Boss’ call. It is the last date of the month and today the boss will ask for the summary of the entire month; the trailer to the month’s picture. Simply put, one understands the evening is going to be full of pending tasks and objectives, as soon as you enter the Boss’s cabin, the boss starts a barrage of questions and what you want to say in your defence is unheard.
After this gruesome conversation, your blood pressure rises and a volcano of anger starts acting up inside you. Now what would an ordinary person do in such a situation? Either he can leave that incident on the doorstep of the office or bring it to the house with a bottle of liquor or one goes to a bar or club to calm the volcano inside him.
One chooses Alcohol and,
after drinking Liquor, the person goes home and after reaching home one talks abusively to his family because of the pain caused by that insult in the office. In such a situation, the person loses control over his emotions under the influence of alcohol and the anger of the office comes out on his wife and children, which has a bad effect on the happiness and peace of the family. Her family does not know why her husband or her father is behaving like this. The children stand behind the door in fear and see this drunken form of their father and their mind is filled with depression.
Today this story happens in 4 out of every 10 houses where the father works hard in the office to meet the needs of his family and if he makes some mistakes there, he starts accepting the responsibility of his family, as suffering and feeds his family as it’s one’s moral duty to feed the family and he has to work to fulfil their needs. Blaming one’s mistakes on someone else and causing discord in one’s family under the influence of alcohol shows the incompetence of a person. He can never recover from his weak mentality
and his family gets drowned in the darkness of apathy.
The person who seeks the solution of his work-related problems under the influence of alcohol is like a frog in the well who has never seen the outside world. They do not know that the habit of alcohol has weakened their will power, that they cannot bear their sorrows and troubles without drinking alcohol.
There are many famous artists who spoiled their emerging future by falling into the addiction of alcohol and drugs and there are some who have touched new heights in their lives by fighting it. The habit of intoxication destroys our thinking, understanding and reasoning power.
If you have wandered in a forest and you close your eyes because of the fear of the lion coming, it does not mean that the lion will not eat you. Think of it as if you are completely dependent on alcohol and you think that you can avoid its bad effects, you need to think again.
