Obession

The other day, I read in the newspaper that a man died from exhaustion after a four days marathon playing video games. He was sent to a hospital after he fainted and after dicharged from the Hospital, he continued to play despite advise from his parent. I have read so many cases of people dying while playing video games or either their children die of hunger when both their parents are obsessed with video games.


I have also know a few friends who is so obssessed with video games or the internet. Anther obession is physical obsession with another human beings which lead people commiting suicide because of lost love and depression. What is this waorld getting to ?


Such kind of obession is like smoking or drugs where the person believe that they can live without it? It is nonsense isn/t it ? We ca n die of hunger or thirst but die because of physcial exhaustion playing internet.


I think these people must have found that they are more useful in this virtual world. We can be anybody. Superman, Bruce Lee, Spiderman and it is like a dream come true. We are a complete change over. We don't need to work hard and we can get all the things we want just by switching on our computer.


How come we don/t die of dreaming ? We have to snap out of our fantacy world and learn to face the real world. TO live in an internet world , it is like running away from reality and avoiding all the hard facts of life.


Ther are many ways to break from this obession. Get a job, mix around and enjoy your hobby or other pleasures in life. It maybe hard at the beginning but if we stay at it, our good sense will return and we will know what is good for us. It is no easy deal but just wake up and out around or outside. All of us are working for a living and it is time you learn to do it.


Namaste.
