Help me!

I am addicted to MMORPGs.

I keep getting cravings to dive mindlessley into an MMO. I have been resisting them for weeks now. It will subdue me and sheeplify me. It is my weakness.

I keep trying to justify in my head why it is not bad for me. Things like: I make nice friends, It is getting too cold outside, If I find it fun, is having fun a waste of time? etc.

But i know in my heart that it probably is bad for me.

I even start thinking things like: Well this life I am in is probably just a virtual reality anyway, so why not immerse myself in a better one with swords and magic and dragons.

This world is plastic, poison and evil old men.

I have plenty of other interests. I have a farm, I do bushcraft, read, (list goes on)... but an MMORPG just seems sooo yummy right now... mmmmmm MMO.

anyone want to play one with me / help me justify why I should play?

anyone wnat to discourage me?

Nope. LOL Yea i never got into MMO's.  Was alwasy into shooters.  Never liked how you have to play more to level up.  Luckily i only got stuck on shooters and GTA.  MMOs do take up some time.

And this reality is the same as a virtual reality.  And it is run by evil people.  And swords and magic are waaaaaaaaay better.

Some people identify reality with it sucking ass.  A lot of new people coming here identify reality with being awesome.

It certainly makes me think reality is much more awesome in other places.  And those people are here to bring that awesomeness.

You do that merely by thinking it.  So if playing the games makes people think it.  And think "man why is this so much better than this shitty reality," i think it is purposeful.

Becuase the things people find purposeful now i dont see any purpose in either.

Cant get lost in the denial of this reality.  But also dont think that everything has to suck ass and be difficult to be real or worth while.  If playing these games makes people stop thinking that the world has to be shitty to be real then we might actually be moving somewhere and not evne notice it.

And of course the sheeple castigate these people sent here to redefine how reality is viewed.  But they dont know any better.

I havent played video games too much as of late.  Only bf3 a lil bit here and there but im sure ill get sucked back in for GTAV.  Just gotta not stay sucked in forever.
