Just a Game

I am just going to get straight to the point with this.

Why do we play a game that just makes us so stressed out that we get mad and quit, only to come crawling back a day later?

Most of us started playing this game and thought it was fun.

Fun |fən|
noun
enjoyment, amusement, or lighthearted pleasure

Now, this might just be my opinion but isn't it a little stupid to go and play a virtual life in a virtual world everyday even though you have a real life in the real world.

It's time for a wake up call!

THIS IS JUST A GAME!!

There is no reason to go around threatening people and yelling at them just because they didn't vote for you in a fake election.

We shouldn't worry about politics because most of the people that play this game have never even had to deal with politics.

As far as I can tell, this thing has gotten out of control due to the competitive nature of humans. Anytime you put a person against a person, whether in a war or in Congress, there is going to be an argument. The thing is, why are we having arguments about a world that only exists on the Internet? Shouldn't we be getting on with our own lives and trying to make the best of what we have instead of threatening to kill someone if you don't become POTUS?

I am personally going to quit, but I thought I should just inform you that you are wasting time in your life by playing a game that will literally give you a heart attack if you let it. Think what you want but remember, this is not reality. It is a game!

Goodbye

This game doesn't give me an heart attack. I'm not RGR.

~hyuu~

People to a game is like Food to an event.
They can enhance the environment so much better, or poison everyone sick. Not all people or food are rotten/spoiled/etc. but you do come across it and it does happen. On the flip side, there are a lot of awesome people here. I don't regret getting to know them.

I can see his point. There is a lot of that in here. But there are some good people.
See you John. You were a good friend and still are.
