An Interesting thought.

I learnt this yesterday.

Anything "bad" that happens in life, we can look about it two ways. One, that it truly is something that sucks. Two, that it is something by which we can continuously improve on.

Kinda like computer game. No matter how many time we fuck up in the game, no matter how many times we "die", we keep going back and trying to find a way to get through the stage.

What's the reward for that? Another stage, another level, more difficult, more challenging than the current one.

Do we consider that to be sucky? Nope! Some obsessive game freaks even try to unlock the secret bonus super-hard, tear your hair out, ultra-frustrating level created by the sick demented powers that be, just so as to get a little more kick out of their lives.

I know someone like that. My dear ex-room mate Alan, went through Final Fantasy 9 at least 5 times. I know. I watched him do it. He MUST unlock every single cheat, every bonus weapon, every spare spell for EVERY FREAKING CHARACTER IN THE GAME.

He'll trawl the internet to find all the cheats, all the walkthroughs, even crack a few codes, and play every single character twice to find the "best builds" for each character. Now that my friends, is dedication.

Imagine doing that to your life. Think it'll make a difference how you'll live and the way you see things in your life?

Btw, for the game "Magic", my single round maximum damage stands at 117 points. Beat THAT!
