Human life is defined by experience and the social connections you make. The value of life isn’t in breathing and functioning. Although this might seem like a rather ill-conceived example, I always thought that the purpose of the dementors in Harry Potter illustrated this concept quite well.[7] The Dementor’s Kiss is described to be “worse than death” because the dementor sucks out your soul, leaving you to be an empty shell of a human. Thus, the soul is what matters the most—and the soul can only be created through the experience of life itself. And I think if you take the ability for someone to truly experience all of the hardships and happiness that comes with overcoming those respective hardships, you are denying them a bit of their soul. And no matter what they do, they will never be one-hundred percent happy.
We’ve seen so many examples where celebrities have completely fallen off the wheel due to their hard-partying lifestyles as a result of the money they have to burn.[8] Young celebrities, in particular, are especially prone to this trap.[9] If you take the hardships of life away and replace it with buckets and buckets of money, people become bored and seek other thrills for stimulation—and in many cases, that stimulation comes in the form of artificial injections, such as drugs and alcohol.[10] Self-medication ends up being the cure, and, very ironically, their demise.[11]
