Will
will is the most intriguing concept.
Mostly sold as - something 1 focuses on...takes time...
rare...but exists..
all protein powered muscle bois - example of a will....
but more on 'will' later....sometimes opposites help to make a clear understanding.
Addiction
seems like anti- will
seems easy, takes no will...and offers bliss
addictions are not as simple as smoking, drinking etx....
they often act as medium to escape the present...sometimes too bitter or hidden...to mask
compulsive online shopping, over partying, finding any excuse to make a crowd - a hidden addiction for attention
both seems opposite of each other.....
1 seems difficult
other seems easy
but i am about debugs, not paraphrasing already known things...
Both are patterns - recursive
both grow - never stay stable...
a parameter is always increases or decreases - many actually - money, time, intents and needs/wants...
the primary difference is the 'win'...
wins bases on 'will' are discouraging - at start...
i wont give useless musckle examples, but rather the process which we all face - interviews
any1 who has gotten his fair share of rejection - knows its a pattern too...
at something which you get better - if 1 holds the will.
its rewarding in long run, but highly discouraging in short ...
its opposite - addiction has inverted properties too...
its 'consumption' increases - brain's nature - saturation of body...
since more is needed - more money - time etx is needed ...
a form of inverted will - driven by fear...
which increasingly becomes 'expensive' as addiction increases.
The reason i went on to dissect these 2 broad patterns called 'habits'...
is simply to highlight their opposite nature...
money - 1 makes it
the other - consumes it.
I think it is always about balance...
knowing the nature of addiction, before trying it....
should certainly help....
coz i personally dont think life is about fear...but conquering them...
and then ...life is long...
things which were 'evil' in teenage...would become 'society approved'...
it happens all the time - boldness in clothes - always a repeat pattern,
no absolute boundaries make sense - for age and nature of it....would always make a 'war' of it.
the real know - how to find balance...a relevant relative moving line...
how to draw it - a gestalt helps u there.
thanks!
