Definition of addiction:
Anything which becomes unmanageable is addiction, not necessarily drug addiction it could be knowledge addiction, food addiction, tour addiction, beverages addiction and so on. Is it wrong in getting along with addiction forever? It is not exactly wrong. Based upon how it affects society or our own well being it is measured. For example if one wants to pursue education rather, I would say, knowledge he or she has to learn and over a period of time get addicted to it. It is because of such addiction any miracle or rather I would say any invention happened, for example Marie Curie inventions used to kill cancer. During the process of invention the harmful rays killed her gradually. But that addiction is a positive one simply because the invented entity is a boon to the medical community. Similarly like what Edison did other great personalities are also hard-core addicts in pursuing knowledge. Now tell me whether it is good or bad?
Co-founder of Microsoft Corporation Bill Gates still pursues money, though he is a philanthropist. Yes too much of money is also addiction.
Coming to Saints, too much of thought about god is also addiction. Another typical example is Ramanujan, a greatest Indian mathematician was a hard core addict in coming up with new ideas, theorems and formulas in mathematics. He passed away at the age of 32.
How to come out of it? Is it possible?.
Possible by repeated practice. If one denied of something and after he achieved that he suddenly felt that his potential exploded and he want to pursue. So how he or she can stop this unstoppable pursuit of addiction. My theological reply is fate. All are predetermined like what happened to Newton, Einstein, GD Naidu, Ramanujan, Faraday and Henry Ford and so on.
At one point of time one has to think not only about his own well-being, but also about the society thereby he or she will reduce the addicted habit. The process of reducing itself is de-addiction.
For how long he or she has to reduce it .This time philosophical one simply because one has achieved to certain extent and so live for others. Which is what the Motto.’ live for others ‘Motto doesn’t mean selfless living? Keep your physical and mental strength strong.
Things will fall in place.
Conclusion:
Constant pursuing what looks initially as an alien habit and later on loved too much. During the process unable to come out of it is an addiction. When realized de-addiction begins. So after addiction, de-addiction surfaces. Now law 1 of inversely converse satisfied.
Similarly you can practice de-addiction against addiction which is work against work. It is also work inside work.
Law 2a:”inability to choose a tool though the object is fit enough for the thesis.
Meaning no proper medication to come out of any addiction completely.
Meaning there is no tangible tool though de-addiction is fit enough for thesis. Sheer will power will motivate one to come out of addiction . Though medication support you.
Law 2b: “Follow your thoughts not mind reading”
Meaning when ever thought of going after drugs, alcohol or knowledge-pursuit occurs, draw a prototype to come out of it. Mostly, as of addicts those thoughts are common. Based on situations or scenarios, it might very.
