I think people feel such&nbsp;pain, or confusion, or&nbsp;a drive to fill a void due to addiction, that they&nbsp;go for the quick-fix like alcohol, drugs, or even ilicit sex. But often, the quick fix is short-lived, but the consequences are long-term and often painful.&nbsp; <BR>Certainly, the person himself/herself is responsible. Others are also responsible for making available quick-fix solutions that actually take-away. If we sit idly-by, without compassion, as others are hurting next to us, we are also responsible.<BR>I guess I say that stuff --- alcohol, drugs, ilicit sex --- is no good&nbsp;based on the results. Usually excessive alcoholism or drug use can cause addiction which is never good, or hurt to others like drunk driving or other crimes, or broken families. Certainly ilicit sex, prostitution or otherwise,&nbsp;always takes away --- from the person as they've just given something extremely personal and intimate like their sexuality, away, often to a stranger who's just there to use them, from their future-mate who will feel jealous that their mate was with someone else sexually, and that could forever haunt their relationship.<BR>Vishesh, these are just my thoughts and sure respect if you differ. May God bless you,<BR>Fred for Peacehttp://peacewithinreach.com/2008/08/30/ray-sold-himself-for-10.aspx#comment-1328809Mon, 01 Sep 2008 17:45:04 GMThttp://peacewithinreach.com/2008/08/30/ray-sold-himself-for-10.aspx#comment-1324815visheshinteresting post.But what is the reason that some people to take to such things?
