Expensive Weaknesses

EXPENSIVE WEAKNESSES

Humans are a bundle of multiple weaknesses. No one can claim to be free of weaknesses. The worst part is some of these weaknesses are self inflicted. The person concerned becomes a victim or moral and social disorder. And we all know how expensive these two outcomes of weakness are. In addition some of these weaknesses may lead to expensive treatment and even death.

1. Innocent weaknesses:

There ares some innocent weaknesses like being emotionally involved in a movie or a TV serial and start shedding tears as the story demands, like weakness for certain types of foods or drinks, like weakness for certain types of people, like weakness for clothing and so on. Thankfully such weaknesses do not cost much in terms of character or social disorder.

2. Greed:

Greed is normally related to have more. Some want more of wealth and will go to any extent to have it. Since it is not easy to amass huge fortunes with honesty, such people do not hesitate to use dishonest means too. Unfortunately such people do not feel any moral guilt nor society debunks them. On the contrary, the higher they go in their greed, the more they are respected and bestowed with power. Some of our politicians and businessmen are living examples. However, I am sure deep down in their hearts they live with the weakness of character that led them to greed.

3. Addiction:

The person concerned wants to get rid of this, makes promises to himself and others but every time fails to keep them. In the end it is the addiction that represents him. He is nicknamed as drug addict, alcoholic and so on. The treatment is costly, moral degradation immeasurable and social deprivation killing.

Addiction is not limited to substance addiction only. There are compulsive shop lifters, not that they need to but they cannot resist to. There are compulsive lairs. They speak lies to get high. People around such addicts come to know of their weaknesses and exploit to the hilt.
