Live well! It is better to swallow the bitter truth than to be a dope addict who lacks inner wealth. Nobody can fill the inner void by maximizing exciting experiences. Yet some try to do so. They are unaware their body can manufacture dope under certain conditions. In excess, the pleasurable feelings increase imbalances in the body and planet.

Unlike other species, humans continue to increase imbalances in the biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. Some ignore the four spheres are interconnected. But reducing the imbalance in one sphere by putting them into another increases the risk of unwellness for us and future generations. In other words, it amplifies the threat of social and environmental crises.

The increase in wildfires, earthquakes, chronic and mental illness, et cetera, are the tip of the iceberg. Simply put, the prologue social conditioning that benefits the few at the top of the social pyramid limits the human potential to make a positive difference on Earth. The corrupted minds that rely on others' control narratives devolve.

Live well! The minds of individuals who embrace inner growth and development evolve. It does not hold on to what is easy when the stakes are high. In essence, self-examination, and inner wealth are vital to live life to the fullest.
