Three some

All good things comes in three. You know the saying? Well that goes for bad things as well. Ill explain.

It´s not exactly news. Three, The magic number. Many things travels is terms of 3. Good things and bad. And no matter what the case is, 3 is a strong consistent force, always working in collusion. If you do some mind scouting you will find that threesomes exists in all parts of the scientific and non scientific world ( I can imagine what you're picturing immediatley, but try to look beyond that for a while:P) wherever you will turn your head, there will be examples of threesomes. Pairs and quarters are more rare..
Religion: The holy trinity in the bible..the three wise men and so on..
Fiction: The three musceters...the three gingerbreadmen...
Biology: DNA RNA..triple codon systems
Chemistry: how many parts of an atom??? thats right three..
Roman and Greek Mythology: The three gods..
History: many examples here..the third riche, the third estate
Science fiction: the robot laws (If you have read "I Robot" you know what I´m talking about)

I´m sure you can find more examples yourselves..but having the above said I think I made my point clear. I wont analyze why 3 is a number to count on.I will just accept it. For whatever reason there is a certain balance, peace, to the trinity of it all. When things are 3, they are connected in a way that 2 never can.
The connection is completed by a third part.
It all becomes even more logic if you look at the number 3 as a drawn figure. The triangle. Remove one leg of the triangle and you have a ...that´s right..nothing..two lines desperately hanging on to each other in one end while seeking for something to cling on to where the third leg used to be.
An incomplete unbalanced figure.
A molested child of geometry.

The same thought can be applied to the musketeer example: imagine the musketeers being only two? What would Porthos and Athos do without their fatherly Aramis?
Removing one force from the threesome it seems is something that should be avoided. The magic would be destroyed.

So turning to myself for analysis of my facts: maybe the above can explain why I after four months since giving up smoking feel hungrier than ever. And why I after two months since giving up fingernailbiting long for a cigarette more and more as the days pass by?
As you understand, my biggest burdens are 3. And they have been for quite some time.
1. I have been a regular nicotinist since the age of 15.
2. I have been a fingernail biter since the age of..well..dunno..very young
3. And I have always had an abnormal relationship to food and sweets, ie. I eat too much of it at the wrong time...with the natural consequences.. I easily gain weight.

Here´s how the imbalance expresses itself: I removed smoking but still managed to remain the same weight without cutting down on the sweets. Two..months later, my fingernails where shorter than ever which is why I decided to grow them back. I had to prevent them turning into moist sponge like, mushroom shaped limbs instead of fingers..

Two more months has passed..and I know that my daily snacks has increased in both frequency and portions. Nevermind those snacks being fruits and veggies and only an occasional chocolate bar. It´s a fact that I now eat more. What is the result for interfering with the magic three? I´ll tell you.
Me a non smoker with fabulous nails..and 5 kg heavier!

It seems I now have a choice. Either I welcome the burdens fags and fingernails back into my life to create the longed for harmony. Either I make sure the third burden is destroyed and killed off once and for all.

Giving it some more thought I am quite happy with being a non smoker (its so unfashionable and ugly to smoke) and I’m so pleased with my long fingernails and I love changing nailpolish every so often! I realize, I don’t really have a choice, there is only one thing to do...get rid of everyday sweets..
But how the h**l do I do it?
And what new burdens can I expect to pop up If I manage to get rid of the third?
Will the ridding of the last burden turn me into a perfect copy of myself? Will that make me a fulfilleld person? And does that mean I must die?

And now I'm a bit embarrased for showing my superficial side. Of course I hae more worries and more deeply rooted than those...duh..and it all depends on how you look on your burdens.

I mean for those of you who know me maybe you think that smoking is not a burden of mine at all. Maybe you see it as an asset (tho i doubt it)?
And maybe I have forgotten about other relevant burdens that you would like to tell me about?

Me in my 70´s?
