Consumption

Well, we all know what consumption means. The first thing that comes to your mind is eating something when you hear consumption. No, you are not gonna read about what a glutton that I am.

You consume a lot of things every single day. Take a step back and think what consumes you and what had consumed you. In my case, the list is probably endless. If you had really hard times, then you’d probably know by now that nothing consumes you until and unless it becomes visceral; it seeps inside your thick skin.

It’s normal human tendency to see the faults first and possibly not see the fruits at all: the fundamental disadvantage of being consumed is frequent clouding of judgement. There a number of things which may consume you and adversely affect you in the long run. Judgementalism, haste, hatred, love, loneliness, pride, terror, etc. are, in fact, in this case, consumers and you are very much like a sachet of detergent (just a figure of speech). Now there’s a specific reason why I categorically included love in this list – it is by far the most atrocious motivator known to man.
