Hashish in Marseilles

This essay is pretty much about seeing things through his perspective when he is under the influence of hashish. Reading this makes me more aware of my surroundings. He talks a lot about what he is seeing and what he is feeling. Most of the time people just go through the day doing their business and not paying attention to their surroundings but this essay makes me think that I should pay attention to my surroundings more often. There are interesting things that happen all around us that we miss because we are too busy thinking about what we have to do next. We should stop and take a look at what is going on.
This makes me want to realize how I see things when I’m in different states of mind. Maybe not necessarily under the influence of drugs but maybe after I’ve done a really hard work out or after I’ve stayed up all night and did not get any sleep. Moments like these where your body is not fresh is when you can really notice differences in your surroundings. When you are fatigued you really see things differently. You may not pay attention as well and you miss a lot of things. Also you feel as though you are about to pass out if you are fatigued to a certain point. Another way to see things different is if you are hyper or if you are drunk. There are many different things that affect how you see your surroundings but a lot of people do not pay attention while they are in that state. You do not really think to stop and see how you are feeling but after reading this there might be something stuck in my brain that will make me think that I should take note of what is going on around me.
