The irony
Nice piece. This struck me:
Thanks!
I think video games are on to something. I think they are on to the fact we really are the masters of our destinies, and if we so choose, we can last against everything the universe throws at us.
This is true. You are the master of your own destiny. The strong man says that his fate is because of what he does. Isn't it ironic then, that so many people live out the fantasy adventures of games in the virtual world, instead of having real adventures themselves?This is part of the reason why I don't play so many video games, nor in as dedicated a manner as I used to.
That reminds me of what I recently read in Walden - Henry David is lamenting folks that inherit business and land from their parents, asking if a man should be digging his own grave at birth. Do you mind if I post your comment on my blog?
