Addiction is human nature I think. I don't only mean the kind of addiction that you instantly think of like that of cocaine, alcohol, and meth. I mean all kinds of addiction from drugs to Facebook, porn to video games. Obviously drugs are a big deal, but I think that many people are overlooking the harmful effects of excessive anything. Children these days are so glued to the TV, computer, cell phone, x-box (the list goes on) that they don't even know what it means to be outside or to use their imagination and be creative. I am not saying that all of these innovations in electronics are evil, but moderation and self control need to be exercised. I am sure that most people struggle with some kind of addiction. I used to thrive on facebook and I could go more that 15 minutes with a computer in front of me without checking it. I am also addicted to gum. I am constantly chewing gum even though my doctor has told me that I need to stop or my jaw will get worse. I don't know what exactly...these are just random thoughts...
I found this clip on youtube from "So You Think You Can Dance" that is about addiction. The song is called Gravity by Sara Bareilles. The song is great and so is the dancing.
