    We live in a society where it’s becoming increasingly easier to treat the symptoms of issues than it is to treat the causes of issues.

    Sometimes treating the cause isn’t possible.

    Sometimes treating the cause is a lot tougher than just popping a pill and suppressing the cause.

    I personally think it’s possible that we’re becoming too reliant on drugs. Many dogs were still scared of fireworks twenty years ago, but if you heard the owner saying that they wanted to sedate them rather than just stay up with them, calming them and helping them, you’d think they were mad.
