what is addiction?

doing stupid dangerous things you enjoy more than life

and the mere existence of this thought... means there's something very fucked up about this reality

(or maybe that's why we're here, now. why we've even made it this far, to begin with)

Lmao, you even changed your about me... JUST FOR ME...? What are you even doing, bro, lmao... Then you changed it back... Yeah, good move... You like to do that, both with your thumbs up and comments... Deleting and ping-ponging between strategy after strategy... Dude, I even heard that in a rage, you started attacking people who comment on my work...? You are like some sort of personal "super-bot" that spreads my glory... Money can not buy people as devoted as you... Thank you, and like I said, I enjoy this... So... Take that as you will... I would rather much enjoy this never ending... It makes me feel like someone actually cares... You care, right? I mean... You will be sure to signify my affect on your level of caring by acting like a comic book villain, right? Women and children are the BEST for getting to the main-hero... Too bad I am more like an anti-hero, but...You know... Toodlez, Smoochems, till' next time...! (Quick question... Are you on other sites...? Cause I need a boost in popularity over in some other places as well...) Just get back to me whenever on that one, thanks, budz

I felt pretty stupid when I realized the title is addiction out loud, haha. Addiction isn't fun (or is it?) if it's to something that's detrimental, yet so many people do it anyways.

As always, I enjoyed.

I think the predilection to addiction is potentially both evolutionarily advantageous and personally destructive. It's not a useless trait, but in modern society in can be a very dangerous one. And it doesn't always involves substance abuse... greed is also something I consider to be an addiction. Material addiction...

escapsim sometimes is a better option to numb the pain of life ...

True... true. Some people do it with work, some people do it with exercise, some people lie to themselves... I like to smoke weed and write jerk poetry.

:D .... and I have a few good vices to lead me away from the here and now X

This is an interesting piece. The part where you mentioned loving addiction more than life reminds me of one of my favourite C.S. Lewis quotes, "If I find in myself desires this world cannot satisfy the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world..."

[Davidgeo]

I really liked that quote... thanks.

Addiction is a subject close to my heart, although I have not personally been through it, I have lived with it. This was an interesting read and thought provoking.

Sometimes to people love to go on a while adventure even though they know that they might not come back from it, but that even excites them even more for the challenge, it makes them feel more alive to do so.

You have expressed this perfectly in your writing, thank you for sharing :)

[Davidgeo]

Thank you. Ever feel the need to climb a really tall mountain? It's probably worse than meth.

[Joey Nizz]

Your welcome.
Its only impossible or worse if someone didn't believe in them selves, if you have the courage and heart and determination then nothing can stop you from reaching the very top.

Ha... you've never been around one of the 7 summits have you? There, you have less control than you think, it's pure nature.... we have know f*****g idea when the weather will turn or our ropes will shear or when the avalanche comes or the how many idiots in front of us get stuck under a serac and we all become target practice for 50 lb falling chunks of ice. Climbing high is an extreme metaphor for daily life, but not as exotic as we think. Damn it... I just rambled off topic again like a f*****g idiot. My bad... thanks for interacting none the less.

Unfortunately no I haven't, I really want to but the highest summet I have been to was last year when I visited the mountains of Bosnia. it was pretty nice but I bet its even better if I've been to one of the 7 summits. And yeah I agree with you, the control does get less once you are there, thats how I felt when I was on the montains last year in Bosnia.
There will be factors that'll make it difficult, such as the weather as you said, or avalanches.
Its ok don't worry about it, you can say anything talk about anything you want, I always enjoy a nice and interesting conversations, so thank you for having one of them with me :)

[MsJewel]

I agree with your words..some need an escape from reality and unfortunately many can't find their way back - or don't want to. A profound write. Julie
