Long time ago i used to be ecstatic ... but i never needed drugs for feeling that . It was when i used to hear the high octave song of Whitney Houston "Saving all my love for you " . And its a paradox that the singer who made me and a million others with her enchanting music ecstatic is no more and the cause of her death is most likely drug addiction .
Drug addiction is a disease.. only thing is unlike a physical illness people generally have no sympathy for the drug abuser . Its thought that they brought it on themselves . But current research shows that drug abuse and alcohol abuse are diseases which occur in certain vulnerable people . And it is much more easier to prevent than to treat these illnesses . Also when it happens it should be treated to prevent catastrophes like Whitneys happening .
Another thing which is equally important is being supportive for people with addiction problems . Still its not known whether addiction causes social isolation or social isolation causes addiction . And having millions of fans doesnt make anyone immune from social isolation in the true sense . The lack of a confiding relationship causes some people to fall into the trap of addiction . Whitney had a daughter , a mother and a boyfriend and millions of fans . But did she have a close confiding relationship with anybody ? Adding to that the pressures of being the music diva and her addiction probably made a dangerous cocktail for her .
Take home little thought is not that you should not be famous but stay away from drugs and if you get into addiction problem get treated .And for the vast majority who are not into drugs be supportive to your near and dear ones so that they dont fall into the addiction trap .
And yes i miss Whitney and may her soul rest in peace .
