Karl is well-meaning, but his argument really is not well developed. He seems to be describing taking a passion, energy, or obsession with something and changing the object of that toward something healthier. But obsessions for "healthier things" like exercise, eating, sleeping, watching TV, or relationships is what defines these activities as not healthy either. You could have taken this theme and made it work, but it would have required a more edited and thoughtful approach. Good try Karl
