We are both nothing other than human beings.
With a sense of separation.
You over there reading this.
Me over here typing this.
We are both constantly moving in the direction of likes and dislikes.
I like this one.
I dislike this one.
Am I addicted to you liking this?
Yes.
Am I addicted to not being addicted to you liking this?
Yes.
Is it a neverending chase?
Ugh, yes.
