Interesting subject….
I play Everquest online….some of the quests can be conflicting…but in reality its just pixels and algorithims dressed in a skin of artwork…not living creatures or beings. On the plus side, the interaction, conversation and participation in the Guild spans and bridges cultures from all over the world.
Is digitally rendered, make believe violence worse or better than the real life brutality of football, baseball, boxing or Ultimate Fighting? I have no answer to that. I guess its just part of this life. If we were not where we are supposed to be, we wouldn’t be doing what we are doing in the first place??...Thats a trip down the rabbit hole.
Honestly, I don’t feel that participating or enjoying the various media forms of this life is wrong. Its what is in your heart that counts…everything else is just window dressing.
