Bitter truth,
Indeed things we love most or are addicted to could be the very thing that is destroying our lives and making the hope of a brighter future bleak.
If I should look at the topic of your piece from another shade of life, then I may have been moved to say that what we can't take charge of at a tender age, we may find it quite difficult if not impossible to stop such acts or addiction.

Thanks for the share. Blessings!!!
