If love causes blindess and money greed
and sex is addictive, but gives you STD's
Why say its good when it causes such grief?
Because love is unique, sex is beautiful and
money gives you relief.
I wrote and posted that poem awhile ago. Last night while laying in bed my mind started to wander again. I still havent found that off switch. I thought about this poem again. I had alot of thoughts about it and I wanted to write them down but the pain killers kind of made it hard for me to do much. I will see how much I remember.
First of all. We are all addicted to something. Wether it be music, sex, a certain food. Everything can be a certain persons drug. Like all drugs, even the good ones have side effects and cause pain.
Drug nummer eins: LOVE
Humans were put on earth to be sets of two. We are made to love and be loved in return. Love is nice, you have butterflies and daydream about the other person when they are not with you. You have a feeling of security and its nice knowing that nomatter what you have someone who is there for you and loves you for who you really are. If love is supposed to be a perfect emotion (love does not envy, love is patient and all that sweet stuff) then why is it such a dangerous drug? Because love can be the most beautiful AND most torturous feeling there is. Think about it; you love someone and they say they love you. If we really love someone then why do we ALWAYS end up throwing their flaws in their faces or lying, alot of people cheat. What good does it too to take something so great and ruin it all in the most hurtful ways possible? There are nicer ways of "getting out". I dont believe that all relationships can last forever. I ought to know. What I do believe is that LOVE can last forever. It doesnt necessarily have to be the kind of love you have in the beginning of a relationship but when someone is in your heart they will always have a small part of it. It could be because you were with them for a long time or because you have children. There are alot of reasons. But NOONE can tell me that they fully stopped loving someone they once loved. I dont believe it. Love, just like people, changes. You can love someone as a husband and later on as a friend. Why dont people admit that though? We are brave enough to put ourselves out there to get hurt but then we arent brave enough to admit it? mmm, we are strange.
Second addiction: SEX
Sex,sex,sex. We ALL think about it more than we should. Honestly, I think about sex all the time. I love it. It makes you feel good to know the other person is attracted to you.. major self-esteem booster (especially when its obvious they cant keep their hands off you). Physically... I dont think I need to explain that too much. hehe, the feeling of letting go and forgetting everything around you, the touch of the persons hands, lips. Oh yeah, you know what im talking about!
Sex is awesome....sex is DEADLY. Theres a WTF for ya! We all know why sex is deadly. All these STD's, I dont even know the half of them. Addictions can be good and bad, I think being addicted to sex is good (as long as you arent running around humping whats not up the tree by the count of three) but it causes bad things to happen. When it comes to love, we all have a wall...for our protection. We let it down for someone special. For someone we believe deserves to see whats behind it. Shouldnt we do the same thing when it comes to sex? A wall to protect. I know so many people that just eff around with no protection. (Im no hypocrite so I have to say Ive had unprotected sex too. I was smart about it though.) Then they come complaining that they think they are pregnant or caught an STD.... uum, yeah. WHOS FAULT IS IT? I know sometimes shit happens as they say but we should at least TRY to stay safe. Addictions are deadly. Simple as that. You have to be smart to survive.
Addiction three: MONEY
Dont we all wish we could find a suitcase with a couple million dollars (or whatever your currency is)? We would never have to worry about money again (if spent wisely). How many times have I run numbers through my head just to see how much I would need to have NO DEBT, EVERYTHING me and Josh NEED, some things I want and then enough left to live off the interest and make sure Joshua and his family have everything they need when he is older.
I think money is the most powerful addiction of them all. It can make you happy, give you a natural high (totally beats window shopping), you can buy SEX (so there is another addiction that can be taken care of ) and you can get "love". Im not saying you can buy love I AM saying people will pretend to love you because they love MONEY.
Money is power. Look at Hugh.... elderly man in a mansion with a bunch of hot "bunnies". If it werent for his wealth, he wouldnt have that. Money can satisfy the sexual and materialistic addictions we have. Money can also drive people insane. How many people are willing to hurt others or even kill to get their hands on alot of money? Ive thought about joining Oceans 12 (or whatever number they are now. LOL). Its wrong though and I know it, so I stick to the dream.
So, money is addictive because it brings power and the ability to satisfy ones needs and wants. Sex is addictive because it feels good and Love is addictive because it is what we are made for. Did I mention that love is deadly too? Yeah, girls jumping off buildings when Robbie Williams left the band Take That.... im sorry but jeez. They killed themselves over a man they didnt even know. Imagine how many people kill themselves when they get hurt in a relationship.
You hear people complaining about drug addicts and alcoholics. If you ask me, its a illness. Illnesses can be cured. Money, sex and love are not cureable AND they too are deadly. Whats the difference? When it comes down it ALL of it can ruin a life (lives). I dont know, these are just some thoughts I had last night and I was wondering what others think. Im not saying drugs are good. God no! It acually hurts me to see people addicted to drugs. The pain they have to endure physically and emotionaly. Im just saying love, sex and money arent THAT different from it when you look at the big picture. Im not dissing on anyone or anything. I am in love right now so its all good. I just cant help but think about these kind of things. Just the way my mind works. Maybe someday I will tell you my theory on how cockroaches could be a cure for all deseases. (See, my mind has NO boundaries  )
Ok this has gone on too long. Respect to those who had the patience to read it all. Pease leave comments. Id like to know what you think.
Take care
hugs
