Quite literally, I review addictions literature every single day of this semester. From methamphetamine to tobacco, these academic behaviors pervade. To understand addiction is to understand the continuum of human mind-body system. Some addictive behaviors are learned. Others coagulate under more conspicuous terms.
Actively searching for neurological research on the changes within the brain, I find myself considering how much "scientists" really don't understand. It is in a scientist's search that understanding is gathered. Paradoxically, scientific understanding historically breeds a spectrum of incertitude.
Perhaps their is an order, rhyme, or reason to "Life on Earth". Perhaps the search itself fulfills some innate human need to reason, hypothesize, generate knowledge, etc...
Perchance wisdom lies within the search, within the mis-understandings, within the diversity of human experience. Life on this Earth, through its beauty, is a mystery among mysteries. Quite breathtaking upon reflection...
