What drives us to do things that aren’t necessarily good for us and in some ways can be self destructive? There is a list as long as there are people in the world. Just think about it, we as humans have habits such as over eating, drinking too much, smoking, drugs, sex. All things that drive us to do things that aren’t necessarily good for us. Even war, there are some areas in the world where war and violence seems to be a habit. Why do we as the human race engage in these kinds of things?
We should all know that the outcome of abusing these activities. It doesn’t leave us feeling better. We get sick, we destroy relationships and lives and most often we are left with more guilt then we can possibly handle. If so, then why? Is it that we have an animal type instinct in us that pushes us forward to do the act with the option of ignoring the outcome? Is it pleasure, ego or some other void that we are trying to fill?
So many questions and I guess there is a whole industry based on trying to fix or control these activities, but it really is something so interesting to comprehend. Thousands of years of people making the same mistakes and still we have not evolved to a place where we no longer do the things we should not do. Hmm…I feel like a snack.
