The cost of obsession

November 22, 2015


-Painful


-Makes you look stupid to everyone who knows you and everyone who hears about you

"It's not stupid; it's DEEP.  I am INTOXICATED.  I have single-minded focus, while intoxicated."

"What is deep about thinking the same thought over and over all day, for years?  Talking to you is like talking to a human rerun.  I supposed it could be that you're intoxicated, and that your intoxication will lead to you being single-minded, which you might not like as much as you think when you're sober."


-Cripples your ability to contribute to what you have or what you could have if you weren't obsessed with how you could get what you can't have


-After years of it, everything else in your life is a weaker, sadder version of what it was supposed to be.
