So I am reading this book about spiritual and unexplained happenings in the career of a neurosurgeon. During his rotation in the children' burn unit, he writes.
"It went on, making me heartsick,even angry that the world could be such a dangerous place for children. At the same time, I wished for a spiritual heroin, to ease my own sorrow"

Spiritual Heroin, to ease the sorrow........

Do you want a dose of it?

Some days I would say yes, but today I guess its no............

I'm sure it is a metaphor for something

I'm just not sure what....

I believe it was a metaphor for a healthy numbness. When you work in particular fields, it wears on you physically, emotionally and spiritually. Like the doctor mentioned, you keep going, but it is hard.

maybe it is me but as I read this post of yours I am not interrupting "Spiritual Heroin" as a drug but more of a female hero to guide him along his spiritual pathflowerforyou

I don't need to be jump jacked by spirituality once in awhile. I hold faith all the time. It gets tested along with my strengths. But all in all if you have it in the first place you are wiser and stronger.
