We’re addicts and we need to break our addiction. That’s our only hope, we must kick the habit. All right so what’s the addiction, what’s the destructive habit that we’re up against?

So many people are suffering, and losing out, because they believe that what they truly want is found in the world, through some worldly form or another. Let’s take a closer look at this.
Why do people want worldly things? Because they want to be content and to feel at peace.

The goal is to be content and to feel at peace and this is what everyone wants.
