Addiction is a mental condition that make one fixated, as it rapidly consumes it's victim. Well, it doesn't all by itself, but with what I call the "just a little" syndrome. Though, some persons believe that a person can be addicted to good things, when you hear the term addictions the message that rings in your head is negative and disapproving acts.
A confirmed alcoholic or an addicted watcher of pornographic movies or someone who's ensnared by masturbation did not become all of that in a day or overnight; it is gradual-- with consistency it gains prominence of the mind of such individual and kills the creativity, as well as reduce such person to a beautiful mess if not managed with conscious effort and professional help of others. (Let me stop here.)
Kind regards.
We need to get to the root of addiction before we can ever hope to eradicate it, let alone reduce its growing presence in our society - it is an epidemic here in my city in Northern Canada. Thank you for your thoughtful comment friend.
