Random Thought: Addictions

Every addiction fills a gap.  When the mind is intimidated by the nothingness of void, it falls back into one of its acquired addictions.

Thoughts, for example, is an addiction.  Try stopping your thought process for a few seconds.  No, you can't think "I am not thinking anything" or "wow, this is hard", just stop every single thought in your mind.  If you could get at least one second without thoughts, you will know how overwhelming that void is.  The mind, unaccustomed to such a void, falls back into its thoughts.
