Addiction



There is no addiction not worth having,
or, as someone put it, there is only one addiction
which includes them all, and therefore any one is better
than not having one at all. Can there be any truth in this?
Oh yes, it is the whole truth, and it's truer than you can imagine.
Why is this? The only real addiction is, of course,
that abyss we call love, which everyone is stuck in,
naturally, all his life from birth until his dying day,
since that's the essence and what life is all about.
– But love gets easily perverted, and there are perversions
without number of all kinds, and they expand and constantly get worse,
since that is how love works.
- But since perversions always come from love,
that source is their excuse and sanctifies them,
if they do no harm and keep within reasonability;
and love will remain forever an addiction and the first and last one,
from which all addictions and perversions emanate
and are mutations and translations, variations of.
So whatever your addiction, it is better just to have one
than to be without, since love doth speak in many languages,
and none of them is wrong.
