the fulfillment of hobbies brings about a sense of satisfaction and happiness. temporary of course. yet it is , as i understand, at best an auxiliary activity. auxiliary to our main aim or goals in life. call it what u may.
addiction is not similar to a hobby on any count. let me first make clear that addiction is not an entity of the sidelines like hobby is. addiction channels pseudo-satisfactions for things that don't really appease the conscience. addiction begins with the fear of the real. it can well be said that the addict in his addiction seeks an escape route from having to go through the trouble of attaining real goals. when the process is finished, the addict knows it to be a lie . as such it results in erosion and despair. erosion because the addict seeks to attain real satisfaction that is denied to him through such channels but can't let go for he fears the real .
perhaps the only factor rendering these similar is the process. bitter-sweet. the process that confuses the one for the other. yet one brings despair and the other salvation. 'ts kind ov sad really.
i hope, ma'am, u don't question my dogged and persistent use of the word 'satisfaction'. is it not, after all, what we mortals seek?
then again, there is the case of one being addicted to accomplishment. wanting more and more and more.. cheh! the world's a twisted place, is it not? =_=
