The Best Addiction

It’s all a matter of habit.

Many people become addicted to smoking and drinking. Some people become so obsessed with money that it is all they can think about. For many of us, it is our loved ones that occupy our minds all the time because we are so habituated to the love we have for them.

In the same way, we can become habituated to putting ourselves aside to pursue what is good for others. It can reach a point where we just cannot sit idly by without doing something that is helpful. And we will offer our help without any ulterior motive.

So if we habituate ourselves to helping others, it can become the one thing that fully occupies us in thought and deed. This can definitely happen.
