Why are we all so self destructive? There are so many ways that human beings can ruin their lives at their own accord. Drug abuse, cheating on your girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse, throwing up after every meal, eating yourself into obesity, debt, gambling, talking behind someone’s back, lying, procrastinating at everything.

And yet we keep doing these things. We keep doing them while trying to shove the moral thoughts to the very depths of our minds. These things and more are done so we can feel good about ourselves or feel in control of our lives. But later the guilt, anger, worry, anxiety, sadness, regret simply creep in and take over. Why don’t we think of those emotions the next time the same situation presents itself? It’s almost as if instant gratification comes before anything we know is right.

Not everyone is like this, and they are smart. It’s might be habit or the self driven desire to do what’s right. Finding them to ask their secret is the hard part though.
