I think sobriety is a wonderful word-and goal-not only with regard to drugs and alcohol but in philosophical terms as well. The sober mind is not prone to leaps of fancy, and can see clearly the mirages that that drugs create in the mind-as well as the mirages we create, sometimes consciously, sometimes unwittingly, under the equally powerful influence of our self-deluding monkey-mindedness.

So yes, amen to sobriety. If we were all capable of this, most of our problems would surely evaporate.
