The Ghost of the Past Want to Live Again — The psychological truth that “once is a habit”. A drug addict can easily tell you this. “Once” can become is a habit! And, The Ghost of the Past Always Want to Live Again. People seldom apply this principle to psychology and our addictions to particular: habits and people. It’s difficult leave: relationships; jobs; emotional habits; bouts of depression; and situations. The Ghost of the Past Want to Live Again and reassert themselves. A failed New Years Resolution is another example of this. There are also pop cultural references to this “haunting” aspect of human nature. Curtis “50 Cents” James Jackson says: …I got the magic stick I know if I can hit once, I can hit twice I hit the baddest chicks Shorty, don't believe me, then come with me tonight And I'll show you magic (What? What?) Magic I got the magic stick… The idea being that though it may be hard to “open a door” it’s almost impossible to “close it”. On a Whiter note, The Indigo Girls sing: …And there's not enough room In this world for my pain Signals cross and love gets lost And time passed makes it plain Of all my demon spirits I need you the most I'm in love with your ghost… People say in a self-comforting way that there are ghosts; but, I say: we are all haunted by our habits from which our total character is derived; and, that The Ghost of the Past Want to Live Again and Again and Again. Boo!
