Our society seems to suffer. It seems to suffer from a strange disease that forces people to become faster, more beautiful, better, thinner, richer, more genius, more creative and better than their colleagues, competitors or even than friends.

That´s the reason why people are about to invent many things that will make life easier, faster, better, more attractive and more comfortable.

So, we do live in a society that tells us to use technical devices and special nutrition that can help us to become better! So far, so good.

This „better than the others“-behaviour of our achievement-oriented society has created a new trend that makes us improve our body performance: brain doping. Substances like ritaline are supposed to improve the brain performance and to stimulate thinking and concentration processes. Actually, ritaline is a substance that is used to deal with attention disorders and should help people who suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or from narcolepsy.

Today´s problem: more and more people who don´t suffer from attention disorders are using substances like ritalin for improving concentration processes during examination periods or at work. This aims at being a winner in a competitive economy. People think they will have better chances at work, more opportunities to reach better positions at work. Working more hours than necessary, staying in the office for more than ten hours each day, studying longer and stimulate the memory – that´s what ritaline does to the human body. And that´s exactly what people want or what they think their bosses want them to do.

Media are reporting about that problem, technical literature and trade magazines as well as „healty living“-magazines are showing interviews with ritalin users, are naming advantages and disadvantages of brain doping.

And that´s the point we should mention: everybody is talking about the existance of brain doping but nobody seems to question its existance. Is it normal to live in a society that needs substances to improve the body and brain performance? Isn´t  that sick? Isn´t that scary?

Why are people forced to abuse substances and medication for doing their normal work? What will come next?

What is wrong with us?

Now I need to take an aspirine because I am suffering from a headache.
