Besides, Sex, drugs and rock'n roll may be joy, but they are not
happiness.

I didn't realize there was a difference. I thought joy and hapiness
was the same thing. When one feels joy, they are happy.

'Having fun' is not always happiness thought. Being drunk is having
fun, but it doesn't make you happy the next day when you have a
terrible hangover.

You answer your own question.

I didn't realize I asked a question. What question did you think I
asked?

Way of speaking. You commented on the difference, saying there was none,
and then some with the legal recreational drug. But if you want me to
dot the i's, in fact some drugs are very powerful and can give true
bliss for a while (almost each drug can be appropriate under a
particular set of circumstance for a specific lenght of time, but even
the best ones do not last in benefit for that long, the brain is made to
react to natural stimuli, and even with the best of drugs, after a while
(say, a month) it will either be contented so much it will not act like
it would otherwise, or it will get (physiologically) addicted (with bad
drugs) or (psychologically) accustomed (with less bad drugs), and will
require more of the substance to continue to process everything.
Exceptions being psychedelics, but even LSD cannot be taken more that
once a week as the cell get depleted of a key element (adrenochrome)
that takes a week to regenerate. Happiness is not articficial. I wish!
But the treaties of Hoffman on alcaloïds are quite fascinating
nonetheless. And as for the rest, sex by iteself doesn't replace love
and sometimes Chopin (for instance) can be more appropriate than rock'n
roll. But hey, for those who do not have the happiness they deserve, it
may be better to "feel joy" once in a while, than be depressed... Keep
also in mind about some drugs that, for a category of people (especially
old folks), and for which biologists invented valium in the past, there
is now a better way to address spleen with less bliss perhaps, but with
less side effects as well, since the use of the brain to produce itself
the molecules (prozac family). But even with these relatively new kind
of drugs that will work fine to a cetain extent for a while, they must
be used to solve the inner problem while they allow one not to ne
overwhelmed, since stopping them puts one back where one was. These were
more used and abused than ever in 2006...

The difference between joy and happiness is obvious put in such a
context, no?

Mondo, Jean's kind of like one of those Magic 8-Balls -- an 'answer' to
life's questions mysteriously comes forth even if you didn't ask a
question. Spooooky...

LOL!
