Anyone know where this is from? :)

A balanced life schedule. Perfect.

Also, is the second picture from something like 1984?

Why? As long as you can provide for your own basic needs, what is wrong with getting fulfillment from video games? Isn’t endlessly pursuing self-improvement towards perfection not just an unachievable goal, but also something that is pointlessly making you feel shitty about yourself?

Like I enjoy working out, but if someone hated it, and was willing to accept both the health risks and social repercussions of being a fatass, then what is wrong with them living that way?

Like im no therapist but my perspective on this thread from ceko is that you want to live your life a certain way. For whatever reason you feel badly about it and tell yourself you shouldn’t… but let’s be real - are you actually going to change? If not, what’s the point of constantly scolding yourself for it?[/QUOTE]

If it's not [I]actually [/I]fulfilling to you, then it's not good. If it is a [I]substitute[/I], it means you're using it as an escape. That being said, I don't see any issue with pro gamers who play video games as their job, for example. It just has to... not be the only thing in your world, like anything else.

Also, this is a very nihilistic way of viewing human existence. We don't know whether there is a goal in life, but a good start could be to find it (which comes down to what Helz said: strive towards making life what you want it to be), to be happy (and to help others be happy as well, since if people do that it's easier to be happy in general; that's past the point, though). Not even [I]trying [/I]to improve yourself is like missing out on life. That being said, it doesn't have to make your life bad or sad at all. In fact, it [I]shouldn't[/I], since a great improvement is to choose to be happy despite... basically whatever happens. Of course, that's easier said than done, but it's still a nice goal that helps you live better, be it just by living happier.

[QUOTE=theoneceko;932851][COLOR="#00FF00"]it's a poor substitute though, don't you think?[/COLOR][/QUOTE]

Of course it is. It's not supposed to be a substitute; if it is, you have a problem. It should just be a source of pleasure, without replacing the rest of "life improvement". I doubt anyone would say the opposite lol
