James Taylor
Some of you may also know that I am a huge fan of James Taylor. Well, I found an interview he did with Charles Osgood on "CBS This Morning" and here is a good little tidbit from it. Keep in mind that James is a recovered heroin addict.
“The thing about it is that if you're an addict, it controls your life and your life becomes uncontrollable. And then it's just boring, you know. It's boring and painful, you know, filling your system with something that makes you stare at your shoes for six hours. It just--you know, or for 20 years, you know. It's a waste of time. It's a tragic waste of time.”

I have found the most interesting part of this all, it does not have to be an external drug to addict one's self. To whirl one out of control, but could be one's own thoughts that suck one in again and make it so that those toes look all the more appealing, instead of facing the music with one's face held up erect and ready for the battle. The thoughts are so safe and predictable and easier however not the benefits that can come from the dreaded unknown.

Great observation about the addiction of our thoughts. We fear the unkown more than we hate what we have now.
