i saw a shirt recently and it said:
"i played video games all day and all i got was" and that was it.. there was no word after "was" because video games are a fruitless endeavor not saying its fruitless as a DISS, i'm just saying what ultimately do u gain? like i have a friend who tries to get as many playstation 3 trophies as possible, spending hour upon hour playing games, but even if he gets the trophy.. what significance does that hold? or say if ur a collector.. say u take pride in having the largest dvd collection of anyone you know.. does that really matter in the grand scheme of things? you have more dvds than most people.. awsum and i don't think its wrong or bad to have your own fun and pursue your weird hobby... but i'm just pointing out that ever since i saw that shirt, i think about things through that lens.. and that lens is overlooked a lot i ask myself what things amount to and its very eye-opening because we do a lot of things that have no true, helpful, enriching, or edifying meaning or purpose for example: we do some competitive things simply for bragging rights "our team is better at volleyball than that team" SO WHAT!? a lot of competitive things have no real value, as well as a lot of entertainment things.. i'm not exactly AGAINST these things but what i'm saying is.. try to think about things through that shirt caption.. try to give things a second thought.. i think we all question the meaning of things at one point or another.. but mostly when we look at OTHER people.. like one good example is the wife who just detests her husband's love of monday night football.. "its completely pointless" she thinks to herself or to give a personal example, i think dancing is just a very worthless thing.. like if i see dancing with the stars or ABDC on television, TO ME it looks like nonsense but aside from that.. i am writing this in hope that people will look at THEIR OWN LIFE THIS TIME.. not the lives and endeavors of others like u may take a look at your life and say: "i procrastinated all day today and all i got was..." "i argued with my ex for an hour today and all i got was..." "i've been worrying for a week and all i got was..." the question is.. do u think u can replace some of your nonessential, and borderline nonsensical activity with something productive and positive? either say "yes" right now.. or take some time and marinate on it a bit either way, ur taking a step in the right direction maybe u can replace some video game time with some exercise time maybe instead of taking the bait and arguing with your ex u can let the phone go to voicemail and spend some time praying about things in your life maybe instead of feeling bad about your own life you can try to make someone else's life way better u feel wat i'm sayen? btw... ^this whole thing goes for me too.. its time to take a second look at the overall significance of what we do! we can replace some of the negative with positive!!! lets go!!!!!
