The addiction

Sometimes, and idea (even the smallest of ideas) can catch itself within your mind. If that little sprout of an idea is most determine to stick, and if it tries awfully hard, it can burrow down and latch onto a concrete part of your brain. Possibly, (for the most intrusive of ideas) it latches onto the very essence of you, the very core. And their it starts to feed on your hopes, dreams, fears, insecurities. Whatever. It feeds on whatever it can. Into these private and personal thoughts it sends its roots, intertwining with the most ancient and permanent of your thoughts. Thus better ensuring its survival. At this point your mind has realized the idea is not merely a passing thought. Your mind begins to examine the idea. And it is at this point you can not for the life of you stop thinking on the forementioned idea. Every swelling of the breeze brings your mind back to it's new obsession. You are trapt in a dilemma; should you rebel against this new thought or shall you embrace it and cultivate it more. If decidedly the new, and now rather infectious, idea is bad, immoral, slanderous, unpleasent, or whatever it may be, then you may decide to try to starve it away. Shut down all parts of the brain that it has attached itself to until it is too weak to survive at all and melts away altogether. However, most find this easier said than done. Because such an idea will not go quietly. Once an idea has its roots it becomes an addiction. Pure and simple. Possibly for good, most often it just traps and ensnares your mind, until in desperation, you surrender to it.
