And now I've cut wait time from my previous post by 50%. Took me a month last time, now it's fifteen days. Anyway, I'm gonna stop rambling before I forget my point.
Today was hands down the most suay day of my life. For details, go here. http://dfcw.blogspot.com What isn't there however is what indeed I was thinking about when I was so rudely disturbed by those young upstarts. And I'm only using that word because I don't want to hardcore swear this early in the post.
I was met with possibly one of the sweetest things ever yesterday. A friend of mine -willingly- missed the chance to get a 2x exp item just so he could spend time with his girlfriend. And he's a hardcore gamer. Now that's commitment if I've seen it. However, once the sweetness had worn off, I started thinking, like I always do. If I was in the same situation, would I do the same thing? Choose what's eternal (love) over what's ephemeral (a bunch of 0s and 1s)? Come to think of it, I probably would choose a girl over a game, but that isn't the real question here.
The real question is, when faced with a choice, neither of which is right or wrong (remember the dude did it willingly), what's the criteria for choice? He picked love over a 2x exp item, and power to him for making that choice, but really, what's the criteria? Is there actually a right choice in this case? Maybe hell yeah. Love over games, why not?
When given a choice, either have a lot of fun with no recourse, or show someone how much I love them, what do I do? Either way, I don't get in trouble, she isn't making me do anything, so she won't be pissed anyway, so why not have some more fun?
Its about going the extra mile.
Showing someone you love them, and not just because they told you to show them you love them.
That's another thing with love. It compels us, makes us forget past convictions, or at least makes them pale in importance. It lets us to do stuff we wouldn't ordinarily do. Like give up a 2x exp item. Would I do that for a Coke? Hell no. Yet I would in this case. That's because a Coke can't love me. It'll more likely end up in the dumpster than in a photo framed for eternity in my handphone. But a friend, not even a grilfriend or a boyfriend, can love you, and that's worth more than all the 0s and 1s in the world.
I'm getting good at getting to the point. These things just keep getting shorter.
Anyway, think about it. Think about going the extra mile for someone who you care about and who cares about you. This isn't a way to pick up girls fast, its a way to show your friends you care about them. Nothing more to it.
Incidentally, the item was stackable.
