Butterflies

Two years back I wrote that

‘Addictions have a purpose and it is central to the person and the journey.

Faced with an addiction one has three choices; to deny it, to contain it, or revel in it until it sickens you.

Unless you face the demon it will always be with you.’

Adding to this, addictions are just attachments.

Faced with attachment to the idea that detachment brings peace in the face of existential nothingness, I would counter that any attachment can be resolved through indulgence to the point of boredom.

But this approach only works if you truly accept existential nothingness and then logically decide to indulge in as many attachments as possible before you are ultimately detached from the ability to attach.

Eventually the whole process will bore you to tears and you will end up being quite content watching butterflies float by.

Or as Lou said, Oh sweet nuthin’, you ain’t got nuthin’ at all (his spelling).
