>But no, not everybody finds sugar more addictive than cocaine.
Not everyone finds cigarettes addictive either. I smoked quite a bit when I was younger, off and on, and never felt the need to smoke ever.
Doesn't this same logic apply universally then? That every chemical reaction affects everyone differently? But no matter what, there are some chemicals that are addictive to the majority of people?
>...explicit acknowledgement and context that the subjective experience of all of these things varies dramatically from individual to individual.
I agree, that especially in this area, depression, life change, etc... that it would be best to couch everything with the "doesn't work for everyone" kind of phrase, but isn't this redundant? What solution for any problem works for everyone?
I think that in this case, everyone in the world has something they don't like about their life, and have a hard time facing it. Because it simply hurts to face your problems.
How do you suggest to people that if they want their pain to go away, they should do something to that adds more pain to their life?
The easy answer I found was to not worry about it, people who will see the value see it, and those that don't are not in the mind set to see it no matter how it is written. Maybe I am wrong, but in other comments here it seems that people get quite upset about saying you can change yourself.
Do you really think it's possible to get through to everyone? Or would just changing how things are written would help people that would otherwise ignore it?
