We are all addicts. This is the universal truth. We are often fixated with the material, the physical- alcohol, drugs, food, sex, women, men, clothing, perfume, rock climbing or even sleeping. We gravitate towards that which gives us pleasure. Unconditionally. The dependable. That which doesnt have any reason to reject us. Only placate us.
We crave for things that are beyond our reach. Apparently the grass is always greener on the other side. Apparently. And until we can dispel this utopic delusion, we will always live in denial. Lusting after things which give only temporary pleasure. Transitory satisfaction. It doesnt last. And by the time we understand this, I think it will be too late.
Some people live their whole lives craving for approval, love, respect, acceptance. And it seems, always from other people. Always from those on the outside. The truth is that we must first approve of, love, respect and accept ourselves. This is the most difficult thing to accomplish. Because it is a permanent decision. And can never be taken away from us or withdrawn.
And we will never question its validity or honesty or worth.
