mindless

I was talking to friend the other day about video games and their addictiveness. It inspired me to write another post.  :)
Once you start playing video games (or computer games), it is often hard to pull yourself away. You end up wasting many valuable hours pursuing pure nothingness. Why? Man is lazy. He likes things that don't require diligence and effort. Man is prideful. When he comes across something to be mastered, he must conquer it. Video games capitalize on the pitfalls of mankind.
Most television is only more aimless than video games because there is nothing to conquer. It simply requires laziness.
Now don't hear me wrong (actually, don't read this post wrong). I don't mean that video games and television are evil and we should go burn all our electronics in a great bonfire of doom. Occasionally, mindless entertainment provides needed rest and even fellowship. But because mindless entertainment isn't what we were created for, we must be careful not to slip into a lifestyle that centers around such entertainment.
