Addictions and You

Did you know that some people are addicted to eating ironing boards?  I didn't; did you know that some people are addicted to playing with the springy thing that stops the door from hitting the wall?  I knew about that one.  Whether you're addicted to crossing the street after you look both ways, or drinking milk right out of the orange juice carton, everyone has their strange addictions.  I once talked to a guy who told me he was addicted to telling people bad news.  That may sound like it is a bad addiction -- and he could probably find some other, more productive pastime --  but at least that guy had a passion!  I'm here to argue that having an addiction is not necessarily a bad thing.  People have addictions all the time.  It's just a matter of time.  Sometimes, though, addictions can get you into trouble.  Here is a quick breakdown of things you should consider before you choose an addiction.

Good addictions:
A good addiction is something that doesn't harm anyone, is productive... that's all I have to say on that.

Bad addictions:
A good bad addiction is something that is repulsive at first thought, and almost abominable at second glance.  If possible, a bad addiction will make your eyes bleed.  I'm lying when I say this; but seriously, bad addictions do that sometimes.  If you are wondering whether your addiction is a bad one, look around you.  Are people yelling?  Are people around you searching for severed limbs?  Are your immediate surroundings on fire?  If not, your addiction isn't bad enough.

Don't get yourself into too much trouble, though.  I'll leave you to define "too much."
