The most dangerous drug

The most dangerous drug would be.....Procrastination. Its a drug because it gives short term pleasure but ultimately results in pain.

We have so many things to do that it is extremely easy to procrastinate. Its something we can do at any time and for any amount of time. we can procrastinate on anything(dunno if thats gramatically correct...but you get my point).We start doing something and end up getting carried away with something else.

We dont want to do whats difficult and so we procrastinate, finding ourselves time to locate an escape route from this hideous task that has been alloted to us. Its the easiest way out but the end results are disastrous. In most cases we conveniently forget about that task and end up doing it in the last minute, just before the deadline while saying' Crap! I should've finished this before'

Its something that is very tempting and easy and its human nature to give into temptations...so we do...and we taste the drug of procrastination. Of course we suffer the consequences of our first dose...but that doesnt stop us from tasting it again and again and again.
And we become addicted to it.

The reason why I have called it the most dangerous is that unlike alcohol, caffaine, nicotine, marijuana, coke and the like It doesnt put us in a state of semi consciousness or unconsciousness but keeps us completely conscious. The problem with that is- we are aware of the fact that we have some unfinished business and that haunts us as we sleep, as we play, as we read, even as we blog but still cant get to the job cause its too darn tough or uninteresting.

It doesnt harm our brain or heart but has a direct impact on our life, future and development.

No one has been able to discover a cure to this drug or its effects because its effects are permanant but the best solution any one could come up with is- 'Just Do It'.
