POST 5: VIDEO GAMES

Computer games are nothing but a waste of time! Any plan is better than spending time in front of your computer doing something completely worthless. If you are addictive to this kind of passtime you had better start planning something more productive and exciting, such as interacting with people around you and living your own life.
When I got my first computer, back in the mid nineties, there were some games included in the hard disc programs. I innocently started to play these games for some fifteen minutes a day, but without realizing the time spent on games soon soared to a couple of hours a day. There was a game in which doors opened and you had to cross them to find some trasures, but sometimes some mad dogs or soldiers (mad as well) attacked you, so you had to defend yourself by shooting them dead. After a three or four-months’ time I realized that all my dreams were about doors; wherever I went in my dreams doors would open and close in front and behind me. It was then when I decided not to play computer games any more; they were absolutely interfering with my subconscious.
These days I’ve been trying to cut down the time I spend facebooking. I think that spending an hour a day on facebook is also an addiction, and I prefer talking with my friends face to face rather than just seeing them on my computer screen. -Of course the exception are my friends who live far away from me.
