“In Iceland, there is a saying that It’s not the drugs that make a drug addict, its the need to escape reality“. {click to tweet}.
Reality is the sum or aggregate of all that is real or existent, as opposed to that which is only imaginary. If a reality is hard to accept, we tend to deny it and run from it, but reality stands still without people’s acceptance of it. Imagine a blind person who doesn’t believe a sun. His inability to see a sun doesn’t mean the sun cease to exist.
Reality and Action is related to it’s core. I remember my priest said that : ”it’s not what happen to people that makes them unbeliever, it’s what happen after that” {click to tweet}
One day, on the way home, a woman stopped by some men and rape her. This fact can’t never be undone. What will she do after the rape is what matter. She has a choose to do suicide or to live on. I don’t say that some reality hard to bear, but people still have to choose do they want to bear it or not.
Do you ever been into situation where you seems to not able to see any door opened? Everything that we do is a complete failure. This failures ranges from business failure to relationship failure.
At those times, we tend to think automatically : “Why does this happen to me?”, “If I don’t take those actions in the past, I won’t be suffering like this”, “I will kill all those people!”, “Nobody care to me!”, “I’m broke and I should kill myself”, “I don’t think I will ever get out of this problem”, “How do I pay my bills?”, “Fuck God! and Fuck this life”.
That’s not even close to a hell. While you were suffering, people close to you will say: “Why did you do that?”, “Are you out of your mind?”, “Why don’t you think first?”, “Why do you trust people so easily?”.
You try to make a peace with your mind by relaxing, playing games or smoking at your yard, they come and say: “What the fuck did you do? Go to work!”, “I want you to pay the bills tomorrow!”.
At this moment, you feels so down and try to look at your job application, and every job you apply, there’s a little note on them … “No”. Then you will choose whether you think of something positive or negative things to do. You commit a crime or you will forget all these hard things going on by running to drugs, pornography, games. All of it become your addiction.
The positive thing you will do is running to your big families, your parents, sister, brother, in-laws, and you will find yourself disappointed once again. They can’t help you solve your problems, they won’t help you!
“The truth about addiction? Addiction is your choice! Addiction is a choice to stop trying to solve your problems!” {click to tweet} Nobody said life will be easy for us. No one will teach us about life. Life full of people who care to us and who lie to us.
Remember when you get panic at first time? Do you ever recover from the panic? Of course you do, because it’s something that you don’t breathe 24 hours. Find the solutions for your problem, and take a small step in front of you. Distract your mind from the problems, focus it on the solutions. Forget the people who makes you falls into this pit of suffering, focus to people care for you.
Human minds are trapped easily by conditions. If things get better than I will change to be a better person. That’s a total BS, and you know it! Your time suffering is the right time to get better because have a limited resources to do the same thing as before, but since you don’t have much resources, it will give you the power to think smarter. It is a great boost to change and enhance your mindset.
Freedom is a very difficult purpose in life. It’s the most basic human need. We want to be free to love, free from financial struggle, free from abuse. It’s so precious that you only grateful for it when you are suffering. The only addiction you need is a hunger from improving yourself to be your better image of yourself.
Drugs, Women, Games won’t solve your problems. It’s making you go astray from the door. There is no undo button in life, so make sure you know how to come back if you choose addiction over your life!
