Love. Be as cynical about it as you like, but it exists.

Addiction: Give me a fix or else ...
Love: I want a fix because ...

One can be totally cynical about religion, yet still agree with this:
"If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,
but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs." - Bible 1 Corinthians 13:3-5
