I'm just thinking about how we have these impulses... bouts of unconsciousness, when we really switch to auto pilot. This is the state we find ourselves in when we reach for those things we are addicted to. Take for example how I'm sitting here in zombie mode, working on a mindless task, and the thought of eating comes to mind. I'm not really physically hungry. It's just a need to eat...
- To get the chemical fix of sugar maybe?
- What is the emotion underlying this?
- Is it to feel safe? Maybe the computer is actually making my body feel like it is being attacked by the radiation?
- What is the underlying motivation behind the desire to eat, zone out and stuff my face?
Makes you think, no?
