I have taken a rather big interest in promoting other bloggers of late who say anything to interst the cerebral side of me. Finding something interesting is a tough gig for me most days. We won’t get started in debating the title of this guys blog but I did want to share a few of his snippets that gave me pause to think.
One post called Life is to Live has everything I know to be true right in the title. Most people think I’m completely correct for saying the point of life is to live and not merely exist, that is until they call me a bastard for suggesting it applies to old people and babies too. Simply put my philosophy has always been keeping someone alive for the simple sake of keeping them alive is pointless, fruitless, and a waste of resources when there is no reasonable hope they will ever do more than exist. it is the religious who yell and scream at me most for this notion, even though unlike me they believe in a grand afterlife the aged and babies could find their glorious way too. What irony comes of life.
He also writes a fine post on online gaming and gaming in general putting forth this notion
Gaming may sound childish, but remember no adult can be happier than a child.
This is most certainly true on both accounts. As a former gamer who doesn’t get enough time to game it is a real let down of my day. I don’t think it matters what games you play either, if it revitalizes you,makes you feel youthful or just releases a fair amount fo stress from killing alien baddies then it is worth taking the time to play, no matter who calls it childish.
In the end sentimentality is never a substitute for substance, but sometimes you need to look beyond the sentimentality to get past your own surlieness.
