Pleasure and Pain
September 4, 1998
Sometimes I wonder what defines
the line between pleasure and pain.
Sometimes they are not terribly
easy to tell apart, you know,
someone may say something nice
to lure in the average joe,
but the next day they’ll turn around
to stab you in the back.
I’ve seen people on the verge of
dying and on the verge of getting
new life
I’ve seen people who couldn’t
stop drinking, and
it may have been
a problem that they just sort
of acquired. You’ll have to
ask them, in order to find out.
Some people who never
learned how to stop drinking,
well, maybe they never
learned how to
solve their own
problems or maybe it was because
they never wanted to deal with
a problem and preferred
escapism. That is another
question. You’d have to try
to get that answer out of ‘em.
