Maybe I am hostile. But, is only related to the fact that I am not smoking indirectly. Life is kind of crappy right now. Certainly not the worst it has ever been, but it isn't all happy and pretty either. Just about EVERY person that I have ever met has turned to some sort of vice when they get stressed out, or worried, or anxious.

Some people drink. A lot of people drink. More often than not I've heard statements like "I need a drink to be able to tolerate him" or, "I can't take this any more, want to go out for a beer". Other people run or lift weights. Some people eat. A lot of people eat. Think of how many girls pig out on dessert type foods just before/during/after their period. Some people masturbate. Some people have sex. Some people go out dancing. Some people go shopping.

Everyone has a vice. That's just how people work. Maybe that's a bad thing. I'm not debating that. The problem is when a person is unable to use that vice, he begins to overflow with negative feelings and without the knowledge of a method to relieve them.

So, the person like me has three choices (in order of ease).

1) Use your vice.

2) Replace your vice with another vice.

3) Calm yourself with your own mind and require no outside assistance.

But everyone bitches and complains and makes you feel like a failure unless you choose option 3. Let me see you choose option three the next time your live gets tough. I can think of VERY few of you that would.
