Tes recently called my attention that I was playing too much games. I spent a lot of my time lately playing freeciv, the free version of the classic Civilization game. It’s a turn based strategy game that takes hours even days to complete. As I reflected on this, I realized that a lot of productive time is actually lost. Time that could be spent making money or honing my craft. (For students, this could mean time lost to make an excellent paper or do some advance reading. ) Perhaps, the addiction to computer games could be a factor in the increased obesity in the world. This is because of the sedentary lifestyle game addicts live. Wii would be a good compromise because of the physical nature of its games. How can you be addicted if you’re already tired?
I not trying to dictate what lifestyle our readers live, I’m just saying there are consequences to our choices. Perhaps the reason why we are addicted is because we don’t like to take a look at ourselves and reflect on the ups and downs of life. If we ignore this necessity, we miss the opportunity to discover our need for God and the experience of Him revolutionizing our lives.
