The fine line between use and abuse.

The use of something really is not too much of a problem. However, when people use something, like alcohol or pain medication so much that they kind of build up a tolerance to it, that crosses over from use to abuse. The abuse of things are what the problem is. The use could lead to the abuse granted, but its not the biggest problem. Then again, it could be up for a lot of debate when you get to the point of use, to abuse.

Humanity really likes crossing the line. When you just cannot live without it, you should try and understand that you are abusing it already.
However, they don't really care as long as it makes them feel great even if it for a little while before they are struck by pain.
If humanity finally learn and understand what a "limit" is, that is when the word "abuse" will finally disappear. However, the chance of that happening is just way too slim and will likely won't happen before everything return to nothing.

The thing is that no matter what, there will always people who think that they can stop before they can reach the limit. So they edge closer. Then perhaps they might think, a little bit more, but they can pull back at any time. However, a little bit does become a little bit more and eventually a little bit more, does in fact become a lot more. The saddest thing is, as long as lines are being drawn, people will keep crossing them. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

That is actually a fair assessment of the situation. The line can be blurred a lot of the time. There are times where use can really tip toe right into the realm that is abuse. Therefore, one has to be careful how much they use. So it does not turn into abuse. That can be a rather tricky thing to muster, to say the very least. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.
