Obsessions??

"Tell me what you want, what you really really want."

That should be the song you end with.

I like it, but I also think you need to explore why and how these obsessions occur.

Have you ever been in church and you're kneeling down to pray and the next thing you know you're thinking about a parking meter down on the "Ave" and you suddenly go: "How the hell did I get there?"

Well, when you kneeled down, you saw that the woman in front of you was wearing red hat. It is a nice red hat, but then you remembered that you saw a hat like that at the Lake City Value Village, but you didn't buy it because it was $4.99 and how you really wanted it, but that $4.99 was too much for a used hat that may have had cooties, so instead you bought a DIFFERENT hat, that was yellow - though you're not really into yellow but remembered that when you were walking down the "Ave" you saw a woman with the same hat but it was more of a purple, not a red and that you wondered how much it cost but as you walked past a parking meter you saw that it was "expired" and you figured that the car parked there was going to get a ticket and it would cost more than $4.99.

Strange how the mind works. Isn't it?

What drives people to be obsessed? What was it about that thought process above that, well, you couldn't really stop because you got on the "track" wit h it. Hopefully, as what usually happens, something happens (an organ starts playing, the pastor starts talking, the AC kicks in) whatever it is and you snap out of your train of thought to no where and it all clues in again.

Same thing with obsessions. What takes a relatively NORMAL person, such as yourself, to become driven to accomplish something, or do something, or take certain risks? It obviously has to do with what is going on in your brain. A chemical release that says: "You must pursue this." But why?

That's a thought.

Have a nice day.
