I beg to differ. It brings no artificial euphoria if you're comparing it to drug taking, but can make us intensely happy... Ok so I'm being pedantic, but the body is truly amazing. I like the idea of a come down though. Sounds like what happens once Christmas is finished! I've never thought of it in that way before. People say they have 'addictive personalities'; hence some people finding it harder to give up smoking. If this is true, then why are those same people not addicted to going to the gym? It is still something they get a buzz out of etc... I wish I was more 'addicted' to God. I do get a sense of euphoria in terms of what you're talking about... this spiritual drug taking... but why then is it so hard to stay focused? Is it to tiering? Too much like hard work? I don't know. One of the best prayers I have heard, and one that will stay with me was this simple line; "forgive us this week Lord when we forget about you..." It's so easily done. Rambling as usual. Kathryn “truly believing induces no euphoric state”?? I beg to differ.
