Happy Birthday Plato!

I know we have a love-hate relationship.

But you were there during my worst time. As a convenient distraction and fun entertainment. For that, you'll always hold a special place in my heart.

I met amazing people in this game.

I met a romanian who knew more about Indian culture than me.

I met a pacifist who didn't fight in a single battle, in a war game.

I met a saint, who spoke such great words of wisdom, I almost believed that it could god with an account (but if he is omnipresent, the account should be banned for multis).

And I could go on..

Before the age of 23, I used to think most of Eastern Europe was just Hollywood villains. And South Americans were all drug peddlers.

But all you people (and your multis) are just like me. You have dreams. You can love. You have favorite foods. You are fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters. You can get hurt. Your blood is the same colour as mine. We might look different, sound different and speak different languages. But we all smile with our lips curved up and our tears flow the same.

There is a saying that Traveling can end bigotry and racism. It's true. But not everyone can afford to frolick around the world.

So this was the next best thing.. traveling and meeting new people with just the click of a button.

I used to be apprehensive of you guys. Now I love you. You're my friends. People who scared me earlier, I now want to dine and drink with you.

And all this was accomplished, by a silly game. I am a different person. Just because I am here.

This was indeed AN AMAZING JOURNEY for me.

All because of Plato.

And for that.. Congratulations to you and your 'family' who 'supports' you. I understand they do their best with all the limitations. I wish them success and brilliance as a new year unfolds. Wishing you, your amazing journey. 🥰
