Obsession

Obsession

Overwhelming desire
Obscuring all else, thus
Only one thing matters:
Obtaining what you want.
Offensive measures may
Override common sense.
Obstinate pursuit rules.

This explains obsession so well! "Only one thing matters: Obtaining what you want." Wow!

Great O words to characterize Obsession. I have done a lot of alliteration and O is one of the hardest to find the right word. I too love the Pleiades form. Welcome back, Kim, I've missed you. Was gone myself for about 6 months.

Thank you, Reason! I never intended to be gone so long. I've missed all of my friends here and I'm glad to be back.
