In today's society so many have addictions.
Then I thought of the person who is addicted. All the negativity surrounding them from society as well as their own inner wellspring of negativity.
Then I wondered if the Powers That Be have the same negativity towards those who are addicted. And I got the answer no.
I wondered about that. Maybe the alternative to addiction is suicide. If that is the case maybe addiction helps that person at least get through this life. Maybe getting through a life is better than suicide. At least they are still learning about life.
So maybe an addiction is not a bad thing. Maybe it's only a different way to cope.

When I am asked if I am addicted to anything...... I always reply "YES".
I am addicted to oxygen...... so is everybody reading this.
Sometimes we make too much of nothing......... Maybe we got to be less judgemental.

Happiness is the result of an enlightened mind whereas suffering is caused by a distorted mind.
