Why do we love?

End of the week! Or at least the official 5-day week.. A respite at last from office life. =S Well,actually i didnt go work today, not exactly feeling very well. Lack of sleep,wrong food and bad decisions on my part. Hmmm..but still,im not exactly feeling very bad for the opportunity cost of staying at home. Sure,i lose a day's pay. But my main objectives for entering working life now was never for the money. Opportunity cost of having the time to catch up with God,some friends and family while resting: 9 hours of pay and back aches. I'll say its a good bargain by any standard.

Recently I've this friend who sms-es me a lot about going online. That pretty much seems to be the only topic we talk about. Which really gets me thinking,WHY?! Isnt there like a hundred million topics out there that are more interesting and meaningful to talk about... Yet.. Well,its the same in life. There're a hundred million more meaningful things to do then certain past-time some people enjoy doing. Gaming,gambling,working(not to say thats a bad thing),gossipping etc etc... So many favourite past times,so many better stuff to do.

Not to say that favourite past times are bad or unhealthy,but I sometimes wonder why is it we stick to it so much at the expense of doing other things. I mean imagine refusing to go out to catch up with friends just so that I can play DOTA for that few more hours. Even if im some world champ in DOTA and its THE BEST thing im good at,it just isnt worth it. Are feelings of attachment to one single thing so strong that they overwhelm every other thing? I fully support having favourite things to do,but if it ever gets to a point of so much sacrifice for one thing like that,and especially if its some not-that-meaningful-stuff,it isnt called a past-time any more,its called obesesion.

Hope I never fall into an illusion of mistaking a obesesion/stronghold for a favourite past-time/hobby.

P.S. I chanced upon this blog for a worship band that just started out. Called "PAID" and I think its pretty interesting. Or maybe its interesting cos I just found out my brother's part of it. So I linked it.
