Personally I have come to believe addiction is a disease regardless of the form it takes. It hurts the society. Most of us know of drug, alcohol, sex and other most common addicts. Lately, I have come across another form that I never knew existed or rather never thought of it that way . It is this form of addiction that hurts the society the most. It mostly serves the other forms. This is money and power addiction. I have read many blogs and news reports about investment bankers. Most are money addicts. How do you explain getting a bonus of $1.5 in your 6th year as a banker yet you are worked like a slave (at least 80hrs/week)? Maybe I'm the crazy one.
Now to our society, money addicts are the centre of our problems. Can we have a rehabilitation centre for them?

sorry about that. Millions of course if you can contextualize the figure.

The rehabilitator must be free from money addiction, and nothing causes this sort of addiction than the desire for a 'center'. Or I should ask, do you know of any 'center' that's not addicted to money?

Those who have no addiction for money can't be hired. Sure, there's a sort of center, the 'universal mind'. And to get there, all centers must be relinquished. I've been studying addiction, and I realize that most of us not only have addiction but that most addiction are structured the same way. And are tied to every facet of one's life. Rehabilitation is 'mind, and self programming'.
