Addiction is dependence on something or someone. People overly attached to what he likes. Dogs, kids, Putin — no matter what or who. It is important not to turn then into zombies, unable to think straight.

I myself tend to such kind of dependencies: how crazy was embroidered with beads, with delight watched the series. Others are discussing politicians or football. Third ten times a day call husband or wife with the question. The manifestations are different, but one thing is important — these people do not live their lives. They give the appearance of active existence, not realizing that long ago turned into a zombie. Violently attacking other people.
Recently on Facebook I came across a dog holivar. One of the Crimean community took the initiative to give children suffering from autism, Labradors — she read somewhere that this breed is ideal for children. It would seem, well, so what? But the review began a natural hell.
Fans of different breeds and homeless animals attacked the social worker calling one worse than the other. The most popular was the apocryphal story about how an autistic child smashed a kitten’s head. However, no contact data, no supporting facts were never provided. But just a couple of hours a social worker accused of embezzling money and assistance in the killing of animals.
Perhaps the idea really needs to be improved. But to advise and suggest, we do not know — we only know how to lash out. This is common not only to dog people.
Similar situation I’ve no time to see on the Sevastopol forum. Worth to mention a topic on which there are two polar points of view — as immediately starts, excuse me, crap. Moreover, violent and ruthless. Forum community once divided into two warring armies, the people falling into insults. Starts the competition “the most intelligent-witty.” The winners usually do not.
Every time somehow turning these holivarov, I wonder, who are these people? And people do they? After the battle on the Internet, obsession with dogs, or politics — this is a clear deviation in the psyche.
To live a real life is usually more complicated. Because you need to perform several tasks. To study or work, make friends, build relationships with the opposite sex, play sports, have an interesting hobby. This, in my opinion, a minimum set. Through which you can at least sometimes know that you’re not a living corpse, a man who moves forward.
But it’s hard. It is easier to fight, to argue, to defend their position no matter what. Obsessed with animals or their child. Which, by the way, without this obsession to have lived in better times.
People choose one direction, one goal and gradually go crazy. Not noticing how this goal is the direction of shield them from all around: friends, travel, more.
Matrix Wachowski now not so terrible — we create it ourselves every day, inventing a world in which we are supposedly active and supposedly someone needs. Although the real world outside of addiction. Beyond the world we create in their fantasies.
