First world problems are not real problems, like you don’t have nothing to eat, but much more a manifestation of the damages to the body, SPECIFICALLY the brain cells, by the excess and abuse of drugs and alcohol , I don’t think I may be exaggerating when I say that most of the population in developed countries are somehow addicted to legal or illegal substances, and this legality is very shady too, you got people divided for what should be available to the public and what should take you to court and jail.
From a third world perspective a cry for help, in this case to the devil or lowest spectrum of human instincts, is very petty and shameful for a full grown man which besides that is a doctor, part of the elite of the academic environment, if you are a drug addict and you totally lost your mind and time in dragon chasing, well there you go all your time wasted and no way to come back in time to change nothing, but if you are successful and important part of the community, having this kind of crisis seams to me a bit out of place for someone who is supposed to be an icon of society.
Coming back to undeveloped countries vs first world references, one of the most shocking memories I have about my emigration to Europe and the cultural difference surrounding the use of drugs, especially those related to marijuana, in Ecuador for example to have some connection with the use or sale of drugs is to be condemned to Social exclusion in every sense, from the family to the work, apart from being classified as a delinquent.
However, in Spain, I learned that what I used to know as a crime and something totally prohibited by my family, was a common rule among some families in the lower environments of society, also among high school and university students, And clearly in the upper classes also with their variants of more expensive drugs and in more discreet way.
All this new freedom was so incredible and so interesting that I was not late to adapt to this new stream of libertine thought, and that’s how I met my own Mephistopheles, and as a young and inexperienced Faust, I joined this new life of addiction to the modern world, in my case as in that of Faust it is just as sad to seek mental liberation by destroying it, but it was a important part of my development as was my own decision to destroy myself just to understand how important is to develop yourself, it was an act of revelion to my boundries, which let a lot of collateral damage
We are all human and we all let our most hidden instincts dominate us from time to time, on the other hand the societies of the first world carry millennia of experience bringing societies to its climax and Letting them fall to their disappearance, I can understand how societies gradually came to understand the desires of their inhabitants and they went together to form modern societies where tolerance is a determining factor for survival.
What is important is the fact that after we self-destruct we can rebuild our world, whether internal or external, and this will affect the rest of society, as in Faust, modern society goes through the stages thanks to the Dark internal forces that bring with them great change but also great losses, all this to be able to go from being dreamers to being lovers of the society and then finally develop it
