When Desire Becomes Our Master
Have you ever caught yourself reaching for your phone for the hundredth time in an hour, knowing full well you checked it two minutes ago? Or found yourself working late again despite promising your family you'd be home for dinner? These aren't mere bad habits-they're glimpses into something far more profound and universal than we typically acknowledge. We live in an age drowning in addictions, yet we reserve that word for the most extreme cases: the alcoholic, the drug addict, the gambler who's lost everything. But what if addiction isn't the exception to human experience-what if it's the rule? This radical insight sits at the heart of a transformative understanding: we're all addicted to something. Not metaphorically, but literally. Our attachments to work, relationships, shopping, social media validation, even our own self-images-these aren't personality quirks. They're the same neurological and spiritual mechanisms that drive substance addiction, just wearing different masks. And beneath every addiction lies a deeper truth: we're all searching for something we've lost, a connection we can't quite name, a home we dimly remember but can't find our way back to.
