re: Hunter's self and soul...

Oh poet, you have done it well... painted a picture…flowing...
an illustration, if you will... of how you choose to dance through life...a balancing act which still…
allows you leeway aplenty...to be free in your interpretation.

The line about choosing your addictions wisely... is truly a stroke of genius…
a good way, perhaps to learn to control...or at least manage those things most heinous…

According to neurologists...the reward hormone ...Dopamine... is a big part of the problem...
you know... the more we get, the more we crave...
and always we want more and more...
it's the reason we become creatures of habit.

And now I am wondering... why did we evolve this way?
Where is the value that helps us survive?
It can turn us into junkies...so why did  Nature not breed it out of us?
Obviously she sees a need...what, I can't imagine...
What it is?
