Cake Theory, running naked and 'rushes'

We tend to lose focus now and then about what we want in life. What we REALLY want in life. This means things that go beyond financial and social and emotional stability/security (or rather go hand in hand with these.)

We have these sudden 'rushes' of obsessiveness. Some people have a 'rush' for playing MMORPGs, drinking alcohol heavily/other addictions, staying away long hours wandering aimlessly, spending money on trivial things (maybe its a shopping spree? I dont know think twice before you buy something if u really need it.) a crush on someone, some even try to escape from their daily reality through obsession of watching movies, tv et cetera. Basically addictions.

IMHO we should never judge or rank importance of doing anything in our life. We just cant keep a price tag on experiences in life. You cant cross out doing studies in favour of pursuing a hobby or vice versa (mind ya vice versa too :P)

'Rushes' arent bad. Overdoing them isnt good either. Problem with 'rushes' are that they become solely what you want out of life. And its not good cos this is a temporary wanting i believe. Real passion is WAY different from a rush cause it lasts forever. (Or so we want to believe *sigh*)

With rushes, what we are doing is basically funnelling out the rest of activity in our lives by neglecting them in favour of that one single temporary rush. That is called plain irresponsibility. Its like a gambling addiction (perfect example!)

Now gather around the fire and listen to my new Cake Theory :P

Life is like a huge cake. All parts of the cake are tasty. So you shouldnt fight for the part with the cherry on it or the rose shaped icing on it xD

and it kinda makes sense when you see it in parallel to life!

I'm not saying dont have the cherry or the icing. Go and have it if you want to. Just dont fight over it or simply lose self control in order to get it at any cost. You will get it if you want it, sooner or later. You just gotta trust that the equation of the world will slightly change in your favour once you honestly know what you really want and it will definitely at one point of time be yours.

as Calvin puts it:

Life is short. Run naked! :D hahahahahha!
