effects of drugs and meditation

one thing all these actions have in common is that they all escape you from the harsh reality you live in. people want to reach these states because they don't know any other way to get peace. they are lost and want a way out. they cant face there fears so they want to forget about them. drugs to some people is their cure because everything else seems hopeless. there is a major difference between taking drugs and praying. drugs are a fast express way to freedom but by taking them you risk your health and after the effect is finished you feel bad and your body feels horrible but prayer on the other hand is a way of setting your soul free by connecting to God. prayer has no health risk and when you finally reach that state you feel like the happiest person. nothing can compare to working hard to achieve self peace. drugs are a means of escaping but they do not bring happiness. instead they bring worries and addiction. the urge to use it becomes strong and soon you will be seeing yourself using your rent money to buy drugs. prayers help improve your life and drugs control and destroy it. the best way to reach great happiness is to pray and set your soul free.
