Once an Addict, Always an Addict?

In my experience, people who focus on the laziness of others are trying to bring the focus at how they themselves are not lazy. There is something similar going on with overweight. What's so difficult? just eat less! look at me! It's a status game, instead of trying to help.

Anyway, to say to somebody "don't procrastinate" is like given a guitar to somebody and tell them "just play!". Sure man, how?

That's hard to want to believe. The problem is if you assume they're not trying to help, then either they need help (too), or there's not much we can do about it.

I feel like a whole lot of people are trying to help, they're just really bad at it and they need help themselves.

Thankfully, psychiatry!

Yes. This is exactly what I was trying to get across.

Thanks.
