Cease and Desist

 

While anger and despair can be fulfilling upon cessation, anxiety never is.  It is an emotion that is birthed from expectation and destroyed solely by the fulfillment of its needs.  It is your puppet master, a sadistic owner bent upon destruction, causing your actions become illogical and desperate.  It Forces you to dig your hole deeper—as if getting to China is the easiest and most logical way out.

Desperation leads to the poorest of choices, by yourself and observers.  Outsiders don’t know how to behave around the desperate.  They label your motivations illogical and actions irrational.  They look upon you like an infectious horror, a fiend carrying the worst of plagues.  To society you are no better than the homeless on the corner, begging for a dime so that you can buy another beer—people assume addiction and know that addiction feeds addiction.

There are few selfless individuals who may attempt to aid you, but you will be expected to dig yourself out alone.  If you cannot fulfill your needs you must give into the emotional emptiness forced upon you by failure.  Prolonging anxiety is worse than the emptiness that follows it.

Society fears the unknown, individuals savor it.  Break the trend and free yourself from your master’s shackles and you’ll find satisfaction in time.  Don’t prolong the anxiety, the gift waiting for you at the end is a Trojan horse—packed full of addiction.
