ORIGINAL: Grisha On any clear day we are given powerful inspiration sources: sunrise and sunset. Watching the light and colors shift, listening to the birds chirp, feeling the nature go to sleep or awaken. Not enough inspiration for you? Sure. But some drugs are part of nature too. It would be silly to pretend they DON"T inspire at all, when they certainly do for some people. Likewise, not every sunset is gonna do it for everybody ALL THE TIME. Some things OF COURSE are not harmful habits at all and can be done all the time without ill effect or dullness from overuse as inspiration source. My point is not to advocate any one thing, ESPECIALLy if they are addictive. Your suggestions also work and are powerful. I for one get lots of inspiration from youtube vids. But for sure not the most healthy thing in the world to just sit there staring at a computer screen for hours and hours, regardless of how uplifted i might feel. As someone who is going into psychiatry, I am dubious of claims that drugs are a source of inspiration. Perhaps my opinion is biased since I have never dabbled in drugs, but if someone must rely on a chemical agent that hit dopamine or disrupt NMDA receptors to become creatively inspired, then that suggests a sort of creative bankruptcy IMO. I know that there are many stories of musicians who used drugs and later composed great pieces. But for some reason I think they would have been able to do so anyway if they were truly great musicians and artists. I agree with you that it's not a good idea to advocate any one type of inspiration source, but I don't drugs are ever necessary.
