Indulgences

While some people find great comfort in things like coffee, chocolate, cough syrup, cigarettes, other people indulge in three-legged cats, sport cars, cross-dressing, straw effigies that bear a close resemblance to your work rival.

My point is, everybody indulges. Some keep it locked up in the closet, some flaunt it. Broken relationships, overkill, luxury, guilt, sadism, morbidity, love, the past, the need to pamper the body...no matter how much you try to deny it, you long for something. For some, it might not be so apparent and could thus live without it. For the others, we would wither and fade away if we don't give in to our indulgences.

Some forms of indulgences kill. We damage ourselves - often we know it, often we don't. Even if we do, we don't stop. Won't stop. There is a certain sense of satisfaction at the knowledge that we are rebelling against our natural course of life. Considering the fact that this is one of the little things in life we could rebel against, this is well-justified, I believe.

So what's your indulgence today?
