Attacking the negative with a wise plan is necessary to become happy. For gamers in their teens and twenties there were sophisticated entrapments in entertainment. I remember those confused faces during freshers year and beyond.
You have to feel genuinely happy whatever the stage in your life. When you fight back oppression, you become genuinely happy. Screen entertainment is one form of subversion and oppression.
I was a charity worker at a well publicized event where a sponsored group gave information on how to have good sex. You know those films that state that illicit relationships are exciting and omit the consequences of the pain that follows afterwards? It was a sad display and not a single man in the audience responded. People sat with red faces. A young woman rose up and explained to the crazy presenters that their perverted display was offensive to people. She had the guts in her and she chose to go because not a single man opposed it. I sat there grateful in my thoughts that there was one person among us who did it.
this sort of passivity can convert into dangerous acquiescence, when more and more people become numb and indifferent to indecency in different institutions, as it happened to me. The illusion that I cant do anything, caused me to return to video games more and more.
the fact that the founder of this website retaliated to a totalitarian entertainment system, speaks volumes. He found a way to be happy. Always remember and look for clever ways to punish the oppressors. Remember to pass that pain back to the originator, because the originator may himself be saved by changing his world view.
