Watched a TV program within the last few days focusing on the addictions that fill our lives now. THe speaker talked on and on that we have difficulties with gradification, my word not his, and yet I see a number of factors playing into this. It starts with too much instantly available..... learning to wait to get what we want is a learned skill...... and parents dont know how to teach it in a world of abundance. And add on that so much of what is available acts like a drug on the brains: TV, highly stimulating conflict movies, bread, and sugar.....

We are born to addiction now.....
