Just a thought,
What makes who we are?
I'll be going to Korea to get a chemo done, and maybe i'll be in a hospital for quite a while.
I don't know how long i'll be in the hospital but guessing around 10 days. I'll be arriving at Korea on the 30th of December, and getting the chemo done on the 11th of Jan.
Well this gave me a thought, no World of Warcraft? what will i do? READ???
Anyway i could hit one of those "game bangs (피시방)" and install my game there.
Well it's different. Very different. I don't have my addons, my customizations will be different, my macros will be different; will it be the same World of Warcraft? I say NO.
The virtual game isn't just about me slaying mobs, it's about HOW I WANT TO PLAY THE GAME.
it's more about my virtual image sort of projected on the screen. I want my game to look in THIS way.
Some could argue: "What's the bid deal? It's just a game!"
Yes, and No. It's not only a game, it's my ideal environment of playing. It's more about what makes me play WoW, and what keeps me to look at the screen. however, of course i could play, i could still enjoy the new content of Cataclysm. However it's not the same.
Now this gave me a thought.
We, as humans, like to make ourselves special, make us different from others. Try to be bettter, maybe more successful than others.
For example, let's take graduate students writing. How do you write?
do you just WRITE? Anywhere? Any time? with anything?
If i throw you a pen, a notebook and desk maybe, will you be able to write?
I'm thinking maybe but pretty much NO.
When we write, some people like to go to the coffee shop, some people listen to different music, do some cleaning first before writing, or a corner in the house that motivates them to write.
People seem to customize their writing place.
Think about highschool, how you liked to organize stuff.
Maybe the organization could start from getting ideas from someone else, but in the long run, everyone has their own way to organize stuff.
Why then?
I think it's because people want to be different, people want to be distingquished from one anther.
We could say, some speices of dogs do this, and some cats do that.
But when we say Koreans do this, Americans do that, oh you did this so you must be Italian.
pfffft. yea, that could lead to so many arguements.
It's okay to catagorize animals but very delicate to do it with humans.
To think of it, it makes us different, in other words, we like to be different.
We are humans what's so different about humans? We customize, we act differently. we separate ourselves from others.
if you think about it, we try so hard everyday to be different from others.
So, I say, playing WoW on a different computer is not actually playing wow. lol
hmm maybe there could be more to talk about this, but I'm gonna stop here.
I wanted to document this thoght before it goes away from my head.
feel free to add or retract from what I said.
hey it's blog... right? I don't need reference!
