Happiness.

[ding]

And yet many many people are addicted to drugs and alcohol.

If there was pill that would put you in a perpetual state of happiness, would you take it?

Give us your answer.

Perpetual state? Not possible; that’s not how biology & psychology works.
We have motivations, which are ruled by BOTH happy & unpleasant mental/emotional states.
Drugs that make you “happy” do NOT last. Reality eventually kicks in.

However, for the sake of fantasy, YES, i would take such a pill. Why not?
Is that not what most people strive for?
HEAVEN?

Huxley wrote about it.

Huxley liked to hear himself speak.

That's got nothing to do with his writings.

He read aloud.

Yes, and Internet forums. Man, by nature is a compulsive creature. If you want to know what man believes and worships you have to watch what he does. Not listen to what he says.

With him, it improved. The quality of the light.

You've never experienced the low skies of England, in the winter?
