Abstract

Pain and pleasure theory propounded by Roscue Pound rests on maximizing pleasure and reducing pain: it is in human nature to do that and not follow the way that ends up in pain or astray or disappointment.  It is true that for a student maximizing pleasure will rest in getting good marks, likely so for a businessperson to increase revenue and so on in different sectors and scenarios. The instinct of human nature drives him towards comfort and convenience: the question that pops up is what about pain in reverse scenario? This is where the scene of what I call "Drug Theory" steps in and changes whole dynamics. It’s believed that the use of Narcotics and alike contraband takes the elements of pain away from human mind which is why we had Opium Addiction during World War amongst soldiers. Destruction brings pain and pain brings more destruction if not channelized properly, an Athlete turns pain of practice into golden rewards while a weak mind resorts to drug abuse. Suffering and disappointments are part and parcel of life and have been with humans since the very inception of life, but drug abuse is new and so are big hands earning from pain and miseries of common people
