Addicted to Humanity?

[Parsons]

Unless a better way of living is provided, we go with what works best. You can attempt to contrast the average lifestyle with some nebulous idealized standard, but it's impotent because it fails to solve the actual problems we face. Also, you're clearly confusing addiction with habituation. Further, no one taints my coffee with addictive substances.

Caffine / coffee is itself an addictive mind-altering drug, consider it a moment with no filters. Imagine you being a true alien(having never been to Earth) coming to this planet with no homework done on the foods/drugs of the world. Now imagine yourself drinking a cup of coffe, never before encountering caffine . What if you were offered and drank several more cups?

It, like many addictive substances or even behaviors, can also be addictive. You can be addicted to watching tv, eating certain foods or too much foods, and you can be addicted to unhealthy relationships, all for the same reason which is simply the sensation of it.

I am not holding myself aloof of this behavior, as have been addicted to the behaviors above at some point in my past and still struggle with these problems. I also consume 12mg of Caffine in the form of a green tea 20oz bottle every workday.

I an not perfect, but the awareness of my various vices allows me the option to only do them in moderation.

Just food for thought, and not particularly aimed at zenmaster's post, more aimed at anyone who wants to further examine their habbits.
