"People don't want other people to get high, because if you get high, you might see the falsity of the fabric of the society we live in"

This quote by Ken Kesey suggests that individuals are afraid of the reality that might be exposed if they were to get high. He indicates that the society we live in is based upon false worths and beliefs, which if we were to get high, we would be able to see through the lies and acknowledge the fact. Kesey is recommending that people hesitate of this reality because it would challenge the status quo and require them to challenge the reality of the world. He is suggesting that individuals are more comfortable residing in a state of lack of knowledge, which they would rather not deal with the fact. This quote is a suggestion that we should not hesitate to challenge the status quo and seek out the truth, no matter how uncomfortable it might be.
