Just Sayin’... by Johann Hari in Global Journal of Addiction & Rehabilitation Medicine - Juniper Publishers
It is clear that Hari is speaking here not just of intimate human bonds
of attachment and affection, although these are central to his argument.
People are also connected to one another, to their society, to
families, neighborhoods, organizations, to their nation, to a sense of
meaning and purpose, to a higher calling and sense of how they “fit” in
the world. A sense of connectedness is relational, motivating, and
deeply spiritual. It is inherent in the ways we are built as social
beings. All these meanings flashed in front of me as I heard that
pregnant phrase, and it sent me on my own journey of revisioning
addiction for myself, my clients, and my students. This new frame of
reference liberated me to explore.
