When it comes to people that continue to do things that are harmful to them the first persons that comes into my mind are the drug addicts. Some of them, or at least, all of them know that the drugs are harmful for them but they continue doing it, with the word drug and referring to illegal and legal drugs such as the cigarette and some other drugs as the marijuana or the cocaine, and I think that the reason why they continue doing it is because they kind of find it as a pleasure even do they know its harmful to them and they get to a point that it becomes a need and they can’t stop doing it. Here is the definition of drug addiction: “Is a pathological or abnormal condition which arises due to frequent drug use. The disorder of addiction involves the progression of acute drug use to the development of drug-seeking behavior, the vulnerability to relapse, and the decreased, slowed ability to respond to naturally rewarding stimuli.” As there says as they continue using drugs their behavior changes and they are now looking for drugs because it became a need for them, and their body is asking for the drug. There are other persons that continue doing things harmful for them as the “emo” people, they have a really low self-esteem and they think that nobody pay attention to them and they do things to hurt themselves as cutting their arms with knives of even suicide, but it’s because of the low self-esteem that’s why they continue doing it.
There are also other people that love gambling and they can’t stop doing it once they started they can’t stop gambling until they are broken or kicked out of the place they were at. And they know that it’s harmful maybe not physically but emotionally and also affects if has a family the relationship with his family, they spend more time on the gambling than with his family, but they continue doing it because they find pleasure gambling.
So, basically people know that things they do are harmful to themselves but they feel pleasure...
