Probably aren’t going to see anymore eve online posts because I’m not going to join when I finish the trial. Is it because the game is bad? No, I actually enjoy it.
Its because there are other things I could spend time on that are more important. Sometimes you have to cut good things out of your life for better things.
My church is doing a 6 week study starting next week on the pastor’s new book One Month to Live: Thirty Days to a No-Regrets Life. The premise of the book is the question “What would you do if you only had one month to live?”. We’ve been dealing with the question for a while now and the more you think about it the more you find interesting consequences. I found was there are somethings I need to do that are more important than a video game. If I had 30 days to live I’d want to create some stuff that would continue on after I was gone.
So I’m not going to spend hours a night building a career in a virtual universe. I’m going to create something that exists in the real world. Probably a feature screenplay specifically.
We’ll be hosting a small group during the 6 weeks going through the book. So there will probably be some posting related to that.
I would venture to say that, being an artist as you are, you have already created a few things that exist, and last, in the real world.
That said, I am certainly not going to discourage you from creating something else… God knows this world needs more original thought :).
I did create two sons that will be around for eternity, so there is always that. The more the better.
Thanks for the comment.
