The pathway.

You know, there is this addictive drug. They say once you are addicted, you have to gradually increase the dosage, but as this would kill you in a very short time, what to do is to take a break from using it once in a while, and start again with a lower dosage.
They say the first time you can not take this break, you know that you are close to the end.

I was thinking of us getting a break earlier this morning when I was reminded of this drug. The thing is I believe, it is not the first time that you can not take the break, that you truly realize you are actually close to the end, but it is the first time, you need to get your first break, that you see yourslef on this deathly pathway.
