My Seventeenth Day

Hey everybody,
Today, there was a massive storm in Berlin, which prevented me from going to a concert tonight. All the subways and buses were discontinued for the evening, and some events were cancelled.
So I was stuck at home and watched some episodes of Scrubs.
I have to say that there's a certain addiction in TV series; if you like a show a lot, you can't get enough of it.
Some people tell me "What's so different about nicotine addiction? All the people addicted to whatever are all the same.".
Where is the truth in that?
Theres different types of addictions; benevolent ones and malevolent ones.
The benevolent addiction encourages you to do more of what you like.
For example, if you really like reading, you'll have a hard time putting a book down when you're addicted to it.
Malevolent addictions, however, force you to do something even if you don't want to.
Like smoking or an eating disorder.
I've seen so much people that don't want to smoke but just can't stop.
The only problem is: many people feel controlled by their addictions.
But, in fact, you aren't.
Most people just don't realize that.
They think they HAVE to give in.
But they don't.
If you know your addiction is not unhealthy, just feed it within reasonable bounds. comfort doesn't hurt. But try to learn to differenciate between those two addiction types.
Find out what your addictions are. Reject the ones that want you to go against your will.
Remember? As a kid, you probably often wished to "do what you want". You only really fulfill that dream when you're fully in control of yourself.
