Law of Attachment

I remember the times when in science class we'd learn little bits of astronomy (of course the whole thing is too big to learn, it's even more complex than Ralph), and there would always be a section of gravity, and how it took its part in forming our universe. Well, in this case, the gravity would be referred to as a physical act of motion, since it is literally attracting things to things. Well, what if this gravity also acted in a figurative sense? I've always wondered about some people who have had abnormal attachments to things (or even people). But by this, I mean like in a serious sense, they wouldn't want to live without it. Take smokers, for instance. They automatically think that they need to have a smoke once in a while, right? Well what would happen if the entire world decided to stop producing any forms of tobacco (let's just imagine...even though it's not very likely)? What if they could never and would never get a hold of any tobacco for the rest of their lives? Doesn't that make their existence entirely pathetic, to think that they wouldn't be able to live without something? It could be more than just what they are reliant or attached to, it could be their mindset too. (although I still agree that people who are addicted to cigaretts/cigars/any form of tobacco really need to do something else with their life) Let's say someone became attached to their computer, in a really unhealthy way. Let's say they lived off of it. They are on it practically 24/7 and the power is always on. They are constantly surfing the net and clicking things and playing online games and downloading/buying computer software and doing all sorts of things with their computer, ect. What would happen if there was a power shortage for maybe several days, or if computers were out of production and no longer existed (as in there was some new product much more compact and not computer-like at all), or maybe if the person just couldn't afford to buy a new one because their old one broke, or they couldn't have any access to a computer at all? What kind of withdrawl symptoms might a computer addict face? {Ugh, I get so blabbly at night sometimes.} Do they eventually get over it? Do they stat isolated, doing nothing all day? Do they regret the fact that they won't have whatever it is that they want? Do they try hard to adjust to new things? {This could probably go on forever...} Then what about the people who become attached to people? But in extreme cases, where they get so sad of losing a family member/friend that they spend their whole life regretting not being able to spend more time with them? How does someone like that manage to make new friends, or adjust to their new surrounding with 1 or more less person/people? Does this mean that it's not safe to get attached in the first place, because you know that someday you will lose the thing/person? Does this mean that you're just thinking too much and wasting time not being able to spend time with the thing/person that you really appreciate? Or could it be that you're supposed to be somewhere in the middle, somewhere when you appreciate/respect/spend time with but not cling onto for dear life? Is the middle always the best? When you're satisfied but not really content all the way? Should it be varied, like sometimes in the middle, or sometimes high up above? Can you really control at what point you would be content with something/someone? Will I continue to type questions throughout the rest of my life? Am I getting attached to typing questions? AAHHHH?!
