Lessons from Minecraft

OASIS'S MIND #02
______________________________________
A few weeks ago I purchased a very interesting game named Minecraft.
It is a sandbox game where people get to mine resources and build whatever they wish.
However, there are also people who enjoy destroying stuff.
Some days ago, I encountered such people for the first time on a public server. I got really really frustrated.
They destroyed what I built and made it impossible for me to play the game. I was indeed mad.
However, I discovered something about myself in all of this. I did not get mad because random people were destroying what I built.
I was frustrated because I felt powerless. I couldn't do anything about it.
Minecraft helped me discover that feeling helpless makes me angry.
However, I found a solution. The solution is to admit to myself that Minecraft is indeed just a game.
I have to get over it, because it is really not that important.
However, at least that experience helped me discover something about myself.
That is it for today, because I have nothing else to say. Thanks for reading!
