No, reality is sometimes cold, sometimes hard and more often than not, rough and tough...
And there you have it and I agree with you.
The reluctant acceptance of reality when the optional one that lays beyond the computer screen
offers better environments where nobody really gets hurt and is designed to assist the user to
be worthy in some way.
Sadly, this is our fault to some extent, the parents who came before.
Embracing a technology that...(aw heck,I sound like a Luddite!!)... that we were assured would
change our world for the better, we took the milder versions and gave them to our young as toys.
Many would perceive these games as nothing but games, whilst other youngsters formed opinions
based on the basic principle of 'good & bad'
Heroes say good things and the bad guy boasts, the gentle voice implies a peaceful deliberation
on a subject, whilst a braggart roars his beliefs without a care for an alternative view.
But... the world doesn't work like that and those who seek to deceive can also carry the lips of
an angel. The person who commands with iron in their words may also have your concerns at
heart.
In this reality, there's no 'Save Game' button.
(Please forgive the aloofness above. As I typed it, I was also watching Charlton Heston deliver his
'Mark Antony' speech in the 1970 movie 'Julius Caesar'!!)
