Regarding Bad Habits:
Any unconscious, compulsive ritual is a problem. But specific activities - smoking, drinking, taking drugs, eating sweets, or asking silly questions - are both bad and good; every action has it's price, and it's pleasures. Recognizing both sides you become realistic and responsible for your actions. And only then can you make the free and conscious choice - to do or not to do.

There is a saying: "When you sit, sit; when you stand, stand, whatever you do, don't wobble." Once you make your choice, do it with all your spirit. Don't be like the preacher who thought about praying while making love to his wife, and thought about making love to his wife while praying.

It is better to make a mistake with the full force of your being than to timidly avoid mistakes with a trembling spirit. Responsibility means recognizing both pleasure and price, action and consequences, then making a choice.

Sometimes I think I
understand everything,
then I regain consciousness.
