How to get high and higher

The easiest and cheapest way to get high is using a flat of stairs or a ladder. The only shortcoming of that method is that you can get high only a few feet from the ground.

If you want to get higher than that you have to use an elevator but still to only a couple hundred feet.

Higher than that it gets more expensive; you have to take a plane.

Anything above that gets ridiculously expensive and also dangerous.

N]I know, not very funny I'll admit but if you look past that you can see something very important:

The basic principles of getting high.

1)      The “More” principle.

No matter the level you are at in order to get high you need more.

If you are doing a line of coke to get high pretty soon you will need two. If you are doing two you will need four and so on and so forth.

Same thing with everything else; money, power fame etc.

If making 100000 a year gives you a buzz you will need to make 1 mill if you want to keep the high.

If you are making 1 mill you will need 10 and so on and so forth.

2)      The “Cost” principle.

The higher you get the costlier it gets.

That may seem obvious for getting high in space or getting high on chemicals but how can that be true when you are making more money? After all the more money you make the richer you get. Right?

Well, the cost is not necessarily money. If that would be the only cost drug addicts would never go to rehab. But when the price tag is starting to cut into your career, family and your health not everyone is willing to pay.

Same thing in making more and more money you have to give up something.

Usually, the price starts with fatigue and stress but it goes up into anxiety depression, health, family and relationship and so on and so forth.

3)      The “Ceiling” principle

If you go high enough you will hit the ceiling

It is easy to see the ceiling when you are a drug addict it is called “OD death” and if you don’t want to stop getting higher that ceiling will certainly stop you.

It is much more difficult to see the ceiling when you are hooked up with the other drug “success”

Yes “success” is drug and an addiction and we all have been pushed into it and sadly enough many are pushing their children into it.

Success or any other drug will not bring you happiness just a high and a high price.

There are millions of people that are not super rich, powerful or famous but are genuinely happy.

The promise that success will bring you happiness is totally false.

Wanting more, or as Buddha put it, “desire” is the source of human suffering.

Trust me, I’ve seen too many “successful” people having miserable lives, some even pushed to suicide despite all the money power and fame, despite all the success they had.

4)      “What goes up must come down” principle

Maybe not so obvious in my example but better known than the other principles.

Once you have hit the ceiling you will inevitably crash.

You may stop the fall and avoid a total disaster, you may recover and start climbing again, but you will hit the ceiling again and again until the day your time is up and you are out of the game without ever winning anything.

5)      “Get down off your high horse” principle

Getting high is not bad if you can get off while you are still ahead.

If you have paid attention all “get high” scenarios end up badly.

So if you are getting high and want to avoid the crash, hear my advice:

Take a year off and join the peace core. Go to Africa and build water wells for the poor or something like that.

It is really hard to explain why you should do that.

All I can tell you is that I’ve been known to go out on camping trips quite often and when I come back home after four days in a tent without a toilet or running water.  A hot shower feels almost orgasmic.
