Bittersweet....

Anything and everything is good and bad for you in many, many ways. Medicine, healthy food, education, love, entertainment, religion and so on... those are the things people generally think to be beneficial and helpful but some fail to realize how they can backstab them in the process. Taking medicine can cure you of a disease, but abusing it will kill you ( and it tells others that you are prone to injuries and illnesses as well. Medicine can damage the liver and body if you intake it for a prolonged period of time). Healthy food is obviously good for your body and health, but it limits variety and strengthens the urge to eat or try something which may be taboo in your own perspective and opinion. Education is fundamental in terms of providing for your future self and family, but there are those who focus on it too much, to an extent where it begins to hinder their social, physical and emotional life. believe me, i've heard of zany stories where a person commits suicide due to underachievement. Love and relationships are very important in life because they give you many senses of comfort, acceptance, maturity, responsibility and connection but all those things can be taken away in a blink of an instance ( if you cheat on that loved one or act very ruthless and heartless towards that loved one, or if that loved one dumps you) and when they do, you feel so lonely to a point where you wonder: who'll love me now, and must i start over again? Entertainment is self explanatory: it can provide you with excitement and amusement but in the process, it can make you ignorant towards others and the messages and semiotics within the media can impact your views and decisions in a negative way.

Religion is a very controversial topic to touch upon. When a Hindu, Muslim, Jew, Christian, Buddhist, ect, finds peace within his or her religion, there'll always be conflict both externally and internally. People of other religions either defend or blast other religions all the time, and this leads to the practitioner of that certain religion to wonder: is my religion really the best religion, and am i all that faithful to that religion to a point where i can say: yes, i will devote my life for Allah, jesus, buddha, Abraham or Vishnu 100% of the time? And they may at times, wonder about other religions or may be too ignorant to care or learn about other religions as well. So remember, almost everything can have a detrimental effect on a person in many ways if that person isn't careful or insightful of other activities or views of life him or herself. Be open minded, my friends, and look beyond what is given.
