Moby’s new album, “Wait for Me” came out this week. One of the songs is called JLTF. When discussing the inspiration for the song, Moby states:
“the reason people do drugs more often than not is they want to be happy. We think of drug users as being subhuman and living in gutters and the people who sell drugs are mean people who use guns. At the end of the day, someone whos doing drugs wants to feel good, like a child eating Oreos. Theres nothing nefarious about their intentions its just someone trying to feel better than they normally would, with that added bonus of nihilism thrown in there. “
For many, purchasing goods/services they don’t need is a kind of ‘drug’. Its a way to try and make yourself feel better instantly. However, much like hardcore drugs, in the end, you feel worst because you have the added stress of not being able to pay off your purchases. If you find yourself compulsively shopping and loading your credit cards with more and more debt, its time to take a look in the mirror and ask if you really need all those things to make you feel ‘happier’.
