Time and again, I ask
everybody to have fun
and pursue all your hobbies,
but preferably the hobbies should be
cheap and inexpensive in monetary terms.
Or they could be a drain on your resources
financially, or emotionally.
Secondly, hobbies and pastimes should
not become addictions under any circumstances.
If they do become just that,
then you got to go through the reducing
or abstaining practice that should also be
easy on you from all angles.
The trick is to reduce your addictions
slowly but surely so that the body
does not have any withdrawal symptoms
to harass you.
