On Obsession : An Analysis
It Can Be Good or Bad
What is obsession? Is it overthinking Where without any effort on our part Our thoughts keep returning To someone or something Man or money Power or politics Perhaps even science Or math Business Or philosophy Could be anything But why is it deemed bad To be obsessed with anything Is it really As bad for us As it is supposed to be? What happens to us When we are obsessed About somebody Or something Let’s talk about love first When you are obsessed With somebody You find yourself indulging In thoughts all the time Thoughts returning to the image Of the person in your mind Doesn’t matter if he’s alive Or dead in your sight Doesn’t matter if he’s near Or too far to reach touch or embrace The thoughts still keep coming Returning to you every now and then So often that you can’t even count But what it does to you That’s the most important What happens to you When you think about it Is pleasure Pleasure that is activated in you No matter where the other person’s at Whether he loves you back Or doesn’t Whether he reciprocates your feelings Mirrors your thoughts Actions emotions Nothing matters as the obsession All that matters is how you feel How you feel in the moment When you think of the person in question And how it feeds your body, mind and feelings Whether it fuels your creativity Or makes you forget everyone else Whether it helps you much Or it hurts you and tears you apart All depends on how you look at it And how you take it and make it work for you or not Obsession can pick you up And make you ride in the clouds Or it can make you drown in the ocean In a sea of despair and depression It all depends on the person and you It all depends on what you make out of it For him or her and for you Now let’s talk about obsession with something else Like watching, reading, eating or writing Creating something tirelessly It can make you a Pablo Picasso A Steve Jobs or a Michael Phelps It all depends on you It all depends on what you want to do With your job, your life, your time your talents, your patience and your skills Obsession can be a beautiful thing Are you obsessed with anything ? Think about this! Peace ✌🏽
