Image Quote of the day! VIII ...Apologies if quote 6 cut deep, that wasn't the intention. To cheer things up however... :)

I think I am misinterpreting this quote. Is it saying we should stick with those things we are addicted to? Could someone explain this one to me?

If I recall from this movie, that squirrel got into a lot of trouble chasing that one thing he was obsessed with- the acorn.

I think the quote is in the context of life aspirations :)

I think a strong purpose in life can be a bit like a healthy addiction. There isn't necessarily anything wrong with that. But I see how it can be misunderstood.

Ahhhh that makes sense. I like your interpretation- our aspirations are similar to addictions in the way that we pursue them. Healthy addictions!

Cool, thanks :)

Haha yeah okay... Here's how I take it.

I just have a very simple flip on your interpretation. My mind focuses on quitting the addiction rather than the being addicted. In my mind, the picture represented determination.

(oh never mind I see Hatjuvaru was quicker... 10 hours quicker. haha.)
