A Vacuum of Shit

"You're not creating a ripple of love; you're creating a vacuum of shit." -Anthony Kiedis

I'm in the process of reading the Red Hot Chilli Pepper's lead singer's autobiography. He is an addict, just like me! ha  But my FAVORITE line of the whole book is the one above. That is addiction, that is drugs.
Everyone believes this, especially when one smokes marijuana. "Ya man, let's all love each other!" Yeah okay buddy, just wait until you come down. Normal people can be fine and normal when the high wears off, but we, us addicts, need to chase it. We need to feel that way. Our thought process goes as such: This is awesome! I want to be like this all the time! Okay where is more?! I need it. Even though in most cases we really don't need it.
Addicts get nasty and we lie to get more. Weed is a gateway drug. I don't care what you say. If you aren't an addict then maybe it isn't, but for some people that high isn't enough so we move on to bigger and greater things chasing it. Chasing whatever it is we think will make us happy and we will go to the Earth's end to get it.
When an addict puts drugs in them, they aren't creating love, they are just creating shit, a vacuum of it. The shit just builds up, the vacuum just gets bigger and bigger. That vacuum is our addiction. And soon, the vacuum can consume you, and when that happens you have hit rock bottom.
