I completely agree with you! However, addiction is not always a bad thing. I’m addicted to love…I have to have it, all the time and I have to give it all the time. Addiction has such a negative connotation and it’s understandable. Many people have suffered as a result of some addiction. I refuse to see it as a negative, the only addiction I want in my life is the good kind :D
Thanks for sharing my friend.

thanks again for a thought-provoking response...

You are welcome :) this has given me a lot to think about and for that I thank you :D
Take a small taste to begin addiction. I like this poem. Easy to be overcome with desire for many things. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

Indeed. Everything should be taken in moderation. You Can have too much of a good thing. It can cause you to begin to take that good thing for granted, and then, you don't fully appreciate it. If that continues on for too long, you can can end up losing that good thing you enjoyed so much.
And then the real pain begins.
A nice statement my friend. Truth may be subjective, but I think this is concrete, worth being written in stone.

Your viewpoint on the subject intrigues me.
Though, what about the over indulgence of happiness, or positivity?

Contentment... Peace of mind. Here's a thought: if we all chase contentment, if we all are trying to have piece of mind, then why have any other emotion? Can there be an over indulgence of contentment?

emotions are part of ourselves, its the main reason why we live...if we don't have we can be as much as a robot, a machine who walks, talks and works...has no life...no choices because its just program to do a certain tasked then this robot do this on and on until the battery last out...
you made me smile with your viewpoint...your great!!!

I like this short blurb you have created, and in a way it's very truthful. Addiction, though, is not necessarily negative. It can be an addiction to something benign or beneficial, say an addiction to literature. Although the word itself does imply negativity, for the most part there is nothing wrong with someone having an addiction. I manage several at once. I like how you end this poem in ellipsis, and I'm still trying to decide weather I'd want to see more here or if it's better being brief as it stands
