Drug Dealers
Drug dealers are distributors and sellers of illegal drugs. They form a part of the illegal drug trade industry that is spread far and wide across the globe. Drug dealers feed the addictions of many drug addicts and also create new drug habit in people who are not well informed about the effects of drugs (Taylor and Potter 396). Most drug dealers are in the business for the money. A recent study done on former drug dealers reveals that the main motivation is the money. A drug dealer can earn up to $800,000 in a year, sometimes more (Jacques, Wright and Allen 662). They, however, risk going to prison in case they get caught. Drug dealing is a profitable, risky and morally questionable career. Nevertheless, the drug dealers do it in pursuit of their happiness. To the drug dealers, happiness comes in the form of money. They are able to afford a life they dreamt of; buy expensive cars, provide for their families, buy homes and other things that only money can buy.
Drug Dealers' Approach to happiness
To drug dealers, happiness is found in money. All drug dealers attest to the fact that the reason behind their dealing is the money they can get from it. Growing up, drug dealers, like most people have big dreams. However, as adulthood sets in, they realize that dreams aren't as easy to achieve as they had expected. Just like to many people money equals happiness, to a drug dealer, having enough money to afford the things they have always wanted and making their dreams a reality is the happiness they can ever hope for (Jacques, Wright and Allen 656).
The guilt of ruining lives often tends to go away when drug dealers get their money. Money means they can provide for their families better and live their lives in the first lane. A drug dealer approaches happiness from a money perspective. They are happy as long as the money keeps coming irrespective of who gets hurt or dies in the process. Despite the unethical business they run, drug dealers comfort themselves with the fact that they do not force their clients to purchase, rather, their clients look for them to buy what they have. In as much as they are directly linked to the bad choices that people make, drug dealers do not make decisions for drug addicts and other people who choose to engage in drugs. They are focused rather on getting rich addicted clients who can pay promptly and keep the money coming.
