Addictions & Boiled Frogs

Looks like addictions to things like food, alcohol, drugs & tabacco are another example of the Boiled

Frog Syndrome.(see Aug.Archive) Gradually heating up the water is like gradually injuring your body

where the minute differences don't make a difference until  suddenly there is a turning point and you're

boiled frog .  One bite doesn't make obesity and eating daily doesn't make obesity, but there is a turning

point ,when you are hopelessly obese.  One drink doesn't kill your organs from alcohol, but the point

comes, after gradual increases, that you are boiled frog and cannot reverse the damage to your body. 

 

We humans have such a hard time.....just like the frogs....noticing , being conscious enough to see harm

when it comes in small doses over time.

 

Our real hope is to be who we really are....conscious, loving , caring, members of the human family.
