Are we all addicted?

[thatsme]

Is all addiction harmful either physically or psychologically?


If those substances never existed in the first place would we still feel the need of something to stimulate our life? (Healthy or not)

Is it the Human nature to feel to want something to get high?

Do human live much longer healthily if those substances did not exist?
Or we would still die unhealthily?

Eventually some Human come to the conclusion that health is one of the most important think to appreciate life, but is it really the case?

Sorry guys for that many almost incomprehensible questions, I felt it would be interesting to find out, if whatever we try to do to improve the quality of living of Humanity would really help.

Some how it seems that whatever we do or not I am tempted to say that it is just the way it is.

Am I cynical or realistic?

Cheers

By birth we are addicted to breeding, a very, very sad addiction. In order to break away from that sh*tty circle, we develop other addictions, some more pointless.

What?! Another question already? I'm in a bind. To answer or not to answer...that is the question...

The matter of addiction is slated to come up on the We are the brain, we are the neurons thread, so I can't make up my mind. I'll just say here, that the brain is addictive in nature, period. It's seemingly just going to happen in most cases, regardles of substance. (for example jumping out of airplanes, coffee, JREF, and, of course that activity that comes part and parcel with breeding, sex)


Good or bad? Well, moderation in all things...including moderation itself, may be the holy grail.

Yea , we all are addicted . Some addictions are harmful for health and some are good for health . Smoking drinking , and few others are very common addictions . These are harmful and the others say bodybuilding and other sports are addictions good for health . I am a smoker and now I am feeling very badly the bad effects of smoking . I desperately want to leave smoking but I am so addicted to smoking that I think I will die if I don't smoke .
