Do you engage in smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, caffeine, sugar, eating habits, masturbate, listen to music, watch tv, work too hard, or do drugs?

If so, welcome to the information ages littlest big problem.

We wake up and drive to school/work, then we drive home and go straight to more work, recreation, or socializing. Activity and distraction never stops.


But why do you think you have addictions and distractions? The most common response is: because they are fun. But to them.. its not denial, they really believe what they are telling themselves. Its like we constantly need something to do.

Everyone can relate to this in some sort of way.

So here are some questions you might want to ask yourself if you have addictions:

Do you get your opinions from someone or somewhere else? Or do you come up with them yourself?

Do you think your creativity has regressed since childhood?

Do you think your keeping your mind off of something that hurts?


Challenge:

Could you sit in a room for 4 hours with nothing to do but stare at the ceiling? No activity what so ever? No food and no drink.

Most people will say yes: but it will be boring.

If you said yes, I dare you to do this.

Set a timer on your phone or watch and sit in your bedroom following my guidelines for 4 hours.


If your life is dominated by distractions and addictions chances are you wont want to do it.

Most people when pulled out of culture lose their minds. They depend so much on it that they don't know how to think for themselves.

Most people also deny this is true.

But we all believe were special cases don't we?

There's no frigging way I could sit in a room and not do anything for 4 hours. I can do that when I'm dead, no thanks. LOL

If I'm in my room cleaning I even have to turn on the TV or the radio just to have some noise...I can't just have quiet. YUCK!!!

I've been bored before, but not by choice necessarily. I just don't see any point in sitting here for 4 hours when there's other stuff I could be doing. :dunno

Saying no is saying no

I just see that as an elaborate justification

The idea is to see what thoughts will come to your mind

You might find yourself hating yourself at the end crying, hating yourself, finding enlightenment, etc.

You wont know until you try

Or I could walk away thinking "man, what a waste of 4 hours". I don't know if I'd make it through a 4 hour porn session, but I'd much rather try that instead.

Maybe I feel your question is comedy. Huh? How bout that?

Then I would say that you have a pattern

Perhaps even a bad habit of turning things that intimidate you into a joke to relieve and escape

When people tell you your problems you smile too? Like when you get uncomfortable

Well you asked me a question so I answered it

Were going in circles
The more we continue this conversation, the more I would rather sit here and stare at the wall for 4 hours. Maybe even 5, just for a challenge.
