Addiction

Addiction


Two factors, I am going to speak here about addiction. One would be on video games and the other would be about community networks.

This blog is intended to clarify few aspects which I thought could be helpful for many to get out of addiction.

As many know that the addiction to video games started in Western countries initially. Now it is spreading across India as a rapid fire. It brings in a lot of entertainment and excitement to everyone who uses it. No one can deny that. It is good as long as you could have a control over it. Games like Age of the Empires, Caesar, NFS and few more have been very dominant among them. These games consume a lot of time to complete and inculcate a hunger to play more.

Let us move on to community networks. These are absolutely fantastic things to keep in touch with the friends circle and to entertain ourselves. But again we get to see lot of people get addicted to it day and night. At times chatting with friends unnecessarily, scrapping for friends photos, playing games and so on. All these come in because of boredom. When you don’t have anything to do, you start off with it. The end is unknown.

I would never say that you don’t play these games or use community networks. Play them with having control over it. Otherwise it is an addiction, a disease too. Better be aware of it now. Many realize this fact quickly. But for some, it takes a long time to understand and come out of it. This could affect their life in a big way. So, friends have a self control over this wild spreading disease. If it is not looked upon at the right time, this could even turn into a syndrome.

The best way to come out of addiction is to have more and more of it. This applies only to those who are addicted to it. Play it again and again until you get frustrated with it. That’s the best way to keep away from it. Secondly, you can reduce it on a gradual manner. Take up whichever is the best suite for you.

Let’s be free from addiction!!!
