Humans seek pleasure indeed, humans venerate pleasure, but are humans sentient, or feelers by nature, the way Science depicts them? Because if humans are defined as feelers, and if they are expected to behave as feelers, then this becomes their meaning in the world, to feel everything, to feel good always, and therefore to live life feeling the best, even addicted. Yet as you notice, humans excel at reasoning the most, and not mainly at feeling, which describes more the animal kingdom. Pleasure is very good and it is better than pain, yet there is a great difference between feeling and reasoning. Reasoning is more about mastering life and the world, while feeling is about celebrating these. Yet even this statement is not entirely true, because feelings are not even abilities within your cognitive system, but feelings are only meant to signal needs and their fulfillment, while rewarding or punishing you depending on circumstances. While reasoning is your main cognitive ability, and you should treasure it accordingly.

This gap in understanding makes a great difference indeed, because if you happen to live your life valuing feelings including your good feelings more than your actual abilities including all your cognitive abilities, then feelings and pleasure in special become your focus in life. And with the multitude of artificial sources of pleasure that Society can offer always, good luck to you, because it is only a matter of time before you too become addicted. And as we will see throughout the book, becoming addicted is not even an error of judgment that you make while trying to feel good in life as everyone else, but addiction is integral part of the normal natural process of your cognitive system, and it is even used by your subconscious intelligence in various circumstances in order to render you disposed to fulfill only specific highly important activities in life and to neglect the rest, as it is the case with your need for reproduction.

Why? You have to understand Society, because once you are addicted, you become weak, predictable, and controllable, and this is how others take over your living and social niches. While you end up struggling with family, finance, and health problems, from then after. Would you like to be able to manage your life, your thinking, and your behavior? You have to be able to manage your feelings too, and you may do so not forcefully and not directly, since you are not a mechanism but a living being, but you can manage your feelings only by learning everything about your feelings, needs, development, addictions, intelligences, reasoning, behavior, Society, Life, the world, and your meaning and place in Life and in the world.

Throughout this book, we study what causes addictions in the world, from all perspectives: cognitive, empiric, behavioral, social, scientific, developmental, and ideological. We also study each type of drug along with all addictive activities, in order to understand them and be able to find ways to withdraw and to avoid them in all circumstances. And since your life in this world along with your entire behavior have higher meanings, we integrate drugs, pleasure, and addictions within the human higher meaning in the world. This book is not only about drugs and addictions, but this book helps you understand your mind, needs, feelings, intelligence, society, behavior, development, rewards, punishments, health, stress, and relaxation, all leading to a better understanding of who you are, how you reason, how you feel, and how you interconnect with those around throughout life.
