The drug that is truth

When you stumble upon a crisis, or more likely, when a crisis comes crashing clumsily into your life after you've been blind to the way it's been building up to this very moment of your life, you discover certain truths about yourself, the people involved and the cisrcumstances that conspired to lead cataclismically to it.

And the truth is usually painful.

Like a drug however, once you've had a taste, you are inevitably hooked. You are compelled to shoot up time and again, no matter how incredibly low you can sink after the high of gaining the why, the how, the what and the who.

Knowledge is a path to meaning, pain is sometimes its side effect. In the end, all you want to be able to do is grasp at understanding. And in understanding, you hope you will learn, find peace and gather the strength to move on.
