There are no less opportunities of social gathering in our everyday life. Colleagues, secondary school classmates, net friends etc. could easily be targets to fill up our hollow time. However, how many occasions could the gathering be adjudicated as happy? Or at least, comfortable?
Most of the time, these gatherings would become nonchalant inquisition of unimportant objects. Say, in a dinner among colleagues, they would single out someone not present, and attack him or her in irrational grounds, in order to avoid dead air. Sometimes, by involving in the onslaught, we may fulfill the part we missed in our oral period. However, the feeling doesn't last.
The situation would be much worse if you don't drink. Even if the gathering is boring to death, if you are holding some alcoholic stuff, it could be your haven. By gulping the intoxicating beverage into your stomach, it could help you shutting the surrounding noise and lighten your mind and soul. Thus you just can't disagree why Aldous Huxley advocated the use of psychedelic drugs.
So, it should be truly grateful if you could really enjoy some gatherings, no matter with your family or friends. As we grow up, time is more precious and could not be wasted in those pointless gatherings with the acquaintances you could not care less.
Agreed. Just waste my time...
