Another day, another headline, another lead-story, and so-on and so-on... . Everywhere you turn there is another case of someone with the 'I can't help-its'. "I was, born 'that way' - I was born with 'it'." The 'it' is the source and cause that, "makes me what I am and gives me the right and excuse to do whatever I have to do. Besides I really don't have a choice because 'it' came with the package people, and regardless of the damage that 'it' may cause to me, my family, or anyone else as far as that matters, that's the way 'it' is."
As ridiculous as this argument seems, this argument is "winning out" throughout our world today in the mindset of people, if not in the courts of our land. We have labeled 'it' with a lot of nice apologetic terms like addiction, sexual origin, chemical imbalance, etc.. It's the peel of the reason as to why people act or live in a particular manner. It's the excuse that people use for the lifestyle that they choose. My question is, what is the limit? Where do we draw the line and say, "now let's just be responsible"? I mean come'on, Michael Vick may have just been born with 'it' - "pitbullia" (Defin. - The uncontrollable urge to watch pitbull dogs fight until death, with the euphoria of making great profits from the money wagered if your dog wins.). I was born with
'it' - "roadragia"(Defin. - The uncontrollable need to drag you out of the car and beat the devil out of you for tailgating me, especially when my kids are in the car with me.) You see the reality is that everybody was born with 'it'. 'It' may hide in darker corners for some more than others. But if the light ever exposes that corner, we will all discover that there are urges and temptations that must be kept under restraint by everyone. We are all victims of 'it'. Another name for 'it' that's not nearly as popular these days is SIN. We were all born with 'it'. Thank God that he loved us even when we were born with 'it' and he's done something about 'it'.
There is great remedy for 'it' of the humankind. There is a pill that you can take to help you with the uncontrollable urges that are caused by 'it'. I'm not sure of the pharmaceutical name for it, but here is the generic name: it's spelled -
"R-E-S-P-O-N-S-I-B-I-L-I-T-Y".
Take Some when the urge hits you!!
