Drugs, relationships, drama queens, sex... we're ALL addicted, like it or not

[WES]

".... I don't care who you are... we're ALL addicted."-- The crazy blonde spiritualist from "What the Bleep Do We Know?"

I was cutting an apple, with an inappropriate knife, and, in all my awkwardness, one quarter of the apple slipped out (and I felt the blade almost slice my finger), and I picked it up and slammed it in the trash ... and I quickly exclaimed, "F-[expletive]!"

This got me thinking back to the scene in "What the Bleep...?", where the girl gets wine spilled on her dress, and then she starts to whine.... The subject was peptides and how we are addicted to these behaviors... and since "thoughts are things" we create these little things/incidents in order to appease our addiction to the whining or whatever feeling....

So, as I sat down here with my 3 quarters of apple, this got me thinking about all the "drama" posts that come up as I got online at PI....

Just like I am addicted to making awkward mistakes and having an opportunity to utter my expletive, and blame the knife, and feel anger... perhaps people are addicted to there little dramas also.

Perhaps people can look at their desire to "get their ex back", or whatever, and we can say, "Hey... it isn't my ex I want, it is the drama around all this, and I am addicted."

No matter what the lack is... perhaps we are addicted to the little game of lack too much, and so we get more of the same lack?

I mean... Do we really want our ex back, or are we addicted to the drama? Do we really want "this or that", or do we just enjoy complaining about our lack of it?

And here is a tough one, do people, on some level, want disasters to strike so they can be involved? For example, when Lady Di died, I was watching the news, and people (on the streets of America) who had never met her, nor cared about her before (or didn't even know who she was), were shown sobbing and being melodramatic.... Then they all went out and bought commemorative plates with her likeness on it.

Could it be we enjoy our lack on some level?

Like I said, "based on my own experiences", and there have been many, and also as I said I've known men with these tendencies as well. No stereotyping involved. Just the facts, ma'am.

[WES]

It's true.

[daydreambeliever]

No gender bias taken here since it just makes me just wonder what it is you guys are putting out to the universe to attract this stuff!

It's never all about us you know...

[Pat]

I never said it was, Day . . . I never said it was.

Peace!

[WES]

Stop defending yourself Pat, THEY know and you know what you said. lol

We women are a sorry lot.

[WES]

See how women spin this as a repression of ALL women.... Very interesting.... Let's see if we can get some more victims in here.

jerry didn't say that to esther...that was me, Pat...that was my "dysfunctional" version that i choose instead.

[Patra ~ Deliberate Sifter]

i picked a stock recently...i thought about one..and choose another instead. the stock that i choose hit my price and will probably make me money..but the one that i did NOT choose as I was 'over thinking' and distracted by being tweaked on this guy shot up from 2 bucks to 10 the very next day. my drama was real..and it cost me money. and THAT is the function of relationships...you play with each other in just the right way...and the rest of life is easy and fun and very profitable...emotional discord is the root of all poverty. and poverty is boring. go chart GFRE, and you'll see what i mean.

[Pat]

Okay, sorry, guess I missed something along the way, it's all cool.

Peace, love, and rock 'n' roll! :-)

[WES]

Don't be sorry damn it! If people want you to be the bad guy, you are going to be the bad guy in their mind.

now don't get all emotional, wes and pat. i was only addressing the quote and spin off from that.
