Haha, I have not drank red wine in a long time, but at 15 that was a three time a day thing.
Nowadays I've been trying to quit smoking nicotine for a whole year and have had 9 cold turkey quits (which just means 9 relapses,) and really have had to admit to myself that I don't know how to live without smoking so I have to re learn how to live and deal with emotions the way normal people do!
I think this paragraph by Seneca is appropriate.
"2. Why do we complain of Nature? She has shown herself kindly; life, if you know how to use it,
is long. But one man is possessed by an avarice that is insatiable, another by a toilsome
devotion to tasks that are useless; one man is besotted with wine, another is paralyzed by
sloth; one man is exhausted by an ambition that always hangs upon the decision of others,
another, driven on by the greed of the trader, is led over all lands and all seas by the hope of
gain; some are tormented by a passion for war and are always either bent upon inflicting
danger upon others or concerned about their own; some are worn out by voluntary servitude in
a thankless attendance upon the great; many are kept busy either in the pursuit of other men's
fortune or in complaining of their own; many, following no fixed aim, shifting and inconstant
and dissatisfied, are plunged by their fickleness into plans that are ever new; some have no
fixed principle by which to direct their course, but Fate takes them unawares while they loll and
yawn—so surely does it happen that I cannot doubt the truth of that utterance which the
greatest of poets delivered with all the seeming of an oracle: "The part of life we really live is
small." For all the rest of existence is not life, but merely time. Vices beset us and surround us
on every side, and they do not permit us to rise anew and lift up our eyes for the discernment
of truth, but they keep us down when once they have overwhelmed us and we are chained to
lust… Think you that I am speaking of the wretches whose evils are admitted? Look at those
whose prosperity men flock to behold; they are smothered by their blessings. To how many are
riches a burden! From how many do eloquence and the daily straining to display their powers
draw forth blood! How many are pale from constant pleasures! To how many does the throng
of clients that crowd about them leave no freedom!..."
A sin is a vice which causes suffering. I think.
Todo lo que quiero es que me recuerdes siempre así...amándote.
