life is pain and there are no shortcuts
4 comments

Of course there are shortcuts. E.g. ibuprofen.
Ayahausca and plant medicines are not short cuts, but the problem is a lot of people expect to take these things and magically be cured. They can bring up a lot of difficult things that need to be dealt with.
There's also beauty and wonder. And you don't even need drugs for them.
Getting a dog is a pretty great shortcut.
