A Matter of Perspective – Good Or Bad Choices

You’re now listening to Hack and Grow Rich with Shaahin Cheyene and his co-host Bart Baggett. I don’t espouse the use of any drugs and I’m too busy making money on Amazon right now teaching people how to do that, to do anything like that. But look, drugs ultimately I see as electricity and I’ll tell you why.

An old teacher of mine, this guy Stuart Wilde, who wrote this book called the Trick To Money is Having Some used to say that it’s neither good nor bad, rather it’s a tool and the way that you use it defines the result that you get from it. And I’ll tell you why. So similar to electricity, you could use it to electrocute somebody, all right.

I’m against the death penalty, but you could use it to electrocute somebody and kill them and that’s probably not a good use of electricity or you could use it to power a ventilator that sends somebody save somebody’s life who’s on you know, in the ICU. So electricity has both of those functions. Is it good or is it bad? Neither. It’s just a tool and it’s how we use it. I feel drugs have been vilified for the most part just because societally we don’t have the bandwidth to go into nuance about these things.
