After thoughts of "Protege" the movie

The question is :

Is Addiction a solution to Emptiness?

By inference, the premise of the show it seem to suggest that we are all seeking instant gratification in this empty and lonely world.

Some of us choose to suck compress air, jump into deep open water to experience the high of scuba while others seek the thrills of jumping out of an aeroplane with a parachute. the less adventurous would look for the hottest chilli crab, best shopping experience etc.

My take on this,

Yes we do feel empty sometimes, and sometimes we resort to some form of transgressions to feel alive. Sometimes we bite off a bit more than we can chew and still believe that we can still beat the odds, that we can reverse whatever damage we may cause to ourselves or to others.

life is too short to think in retrospect all the time. And I have never been a person who would stop and think about life. But sometime i can;t help but wonder if i would ever lose the will and courage to take the next step....to jump into the next dive site, to run the next tri race. The op cost seem to creep up on you unknowlingly until it become so obvious to u one day that you are compel to stop.

don;t worry, i have not come to that stage yet.....right now my life is full....to the brim.....so come get me if you can you bloody emptiness!
