We are addicted to our egotism, our likes and dislikes and prejudices, and depend upon them for our own sense of identity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think there's a danger in how we can get addicted to the things that reaffirm to us who we are. For example, Facebook; people who make these Facebook posts about what's happening to them, just so people will chime in and give them positive reinforcement.
It is, therefore, essential that we guard our own thinking and not be among those who cry out against prejudices applicable to themselves, while busy spawning intolerances for others.
There is a quality of selfishness that is associated with an individual when they are in the depths of addiction.
Our world is drowning in a sea of self-centeredness. You can make yourself quite unique right away by leaving this ocean of selfishness and choosing to be curious about other people.
All evils to which so many become addicted begin in the mind and in the way one thinks.
I suppose that is my central obsession. What we owe to society, what we owe to ourselves.
We define ourselves, in part, by the discriminations we make. The value of what we love is enriched by our understanding of what we dislike.
We allow each other so little enjoyment or even tolerance for our individualities, our uniquenesses, and yet to me, that's what it's all about.
I am an addictive personality.
I am obsessed with why people turn out the way they are.
