The Emperor's New Clothes ! What is reality?
In a world that seems rapidly moving towards a something
for nothing gambling state, how mind blowingly ridiculous
is the idea of buying nothing for something.Indeed a great deal of something is being paid for property in a virtual world that only exists at the flick of a button.Perhaps paranoia leads me to wonder if the continuing use of computer generated worlds by this and future generations, is leading us to forget the real world? Then again if the media's implication that the real world offers nothing but war, disasters,useless leaders,crime,poverty and little hope of good education or health which world would you choose?Sitting in a chair creating an living in an environment that you choose, you control and you can switch off anytime,sounds good.Sadly the beautiful world we live in is been left behind by those who find it uninteresting,terrifying or beyond them.Of course a positive outlook would be to say what a wonderful exciting past time for adults and kids alike.But I think one day the world is going to laugh or cry at the generation of people who are in the altogether.
