As I go through the “Jonesing”, quitting cigarettes for the second time because I got overconfident after 21 years and thought I could cheat a little (ooops) it occurs to me just what an addict will do for tobacco; it doesn’t even have a positive effect, hmm, just creates anxiety, then relieves it.

The things I have seen a man do, for relief, for a drink, a cigarette,a gambling rush, a chance to get laid, or look good, or be recognized or appreciated…we are really stupid, ALL OF US!

What a man or woman will do to themselves to look a certain way, to their health to avoid giving up bad food, an addiction, or a fetish; how unhealthy people have become, what they spend their money on because they do not have enough self discipline to workout…the drugs they will take, the lies that they will buy, the known risks,  and WE do it anyway..wow.

What is wrong with us?  Why do we do these things? You are not going to like the answer.

We are flawed. An animal that can eat, reproduce, sleep, dies a happy animal. A human who can do only that, will destroy his or herself. We are made for more, desire more, seek more, will only settle for more.

We are made to create, disrupt, be at cause, to rule this world, actually. But we must be very careful. A human who is enlightened can have God-given power to affect the world around us; but an out of control “God” is equally destructive, on accident, unknowingly.

That is why there are rules, a plan, a way to remove the proverbial “wheat” fro the “Chaff” amongst humans.

We desire, crave, must have meaning, enlightenment, understanding.  These are the intangibles that we seek to our own detriment, if necessary, and value above all else.

If you think that you are anything less than a developing God-child, you defeat yourself.

Don’t add to the noise that we all must learn to ignore, listen to the beautiful music beneath the noise.
