Okay, there are many games I don't play. Like for example I don't play on the Wii or the Playstation. I am too old to be coordinated to do such things. I also don't play games that sublimally aim towards violence like Mafia Wars. I know...its not violent, but the name has war and mafia and it just does not appeal to me. The games I do play are: Farmville, Cafeworld, Yoville and Farmtown. These are all Facebook games, because we know that I am a Facebook Addict. I don't even really update anymore. I just play those games. In fact, I play them so often, I am often seen as offline, but really I am online harvesting those crops and cooking fiery tacos. I have to stop doing it though. It takes important time away from me and my family. I would rather play those games then be with my family at night or go to the gym. Yet, they offer such a feeling of instant gratification. To plant and grow and harvest crops ! To make dishes and serve them ! You know, the things I have a hard time doing at home. What benefits do they offer ? How is this going to improve my life, build self esteem for myself and my children ? Does Farmville clean my home ? Does it create a loving enviorment for my family and my friends ? Does Farmville send out Christmas Cards and make cookies ? Is being a level 42 on Farmville going to make me a superstar ? Is making Powered French Toast on Cafe World going to make me a Gourmet Chef ? No and No and NO. Yet, I am not alone ! I find a lot of my friends also addicted to these games and my family. Question: How to give it up ? Convince me !!!
