Bad Habits
Man is a servant to habit s and slave to bad habits. In our
daily round, we most often do some types of work repeatedly. Some of these
works we do for our apparent pleasure. Consequently, such works reinforce our
activities and mentality. Such reinforced behavior is called habit. In
addition, those habits, which have bad consequences either for the doer or for
other people, are called bad habits. Sometimes such bad habits become very
peculiar and odd. For example, the habit of pricking the nose, making
meaningless sounds or body movements whole talking, biting the nail,
producing meaningful words or expressions too frequently while speaking etc.
are bad habits. There are other bad habits also. Smoking and taking drugs are examples
of extremely bad habits. Once people from such habits some way or other, it is
difficult for them to give them up. But can these habits not be given up at
all? Surely they can. First , we have to have an intention to do so. Second,
bad habits should be fought against little, if it is hard to get rid of them at
a time. Most of all, man should not be slaves to habits, but habits should b
slaves to man.
