Reply #15: Why do people design video games where players kill monsters? [View All]

[Speck Tater]

Because it's more fun that way.

Remember, this so-called "reality" is a just a computer simulation, a video game. You can't really be hurt or killed. G.O.D (the Giver Of Data) programmed the game that way because it makes it more interesting. We are all perfect, immortal beings. But life as a perfect, all-knowing, immortal being got to be just way too boring, so that's why we chose to play this particular game. As a perfect, immortal being, there are no threats, no suspense, no excitement, no surprises, no danger. What would YOU do if your eternal life was that boring? You'd play the game, of course.

Why suffering? Why do people watch horror movies? We all knew what we were getting into when we jumped into the game, and after the game is over, we'll look back on it and say, "Wow! That was really something! Let's do it again." Hence "reincarnation".

It's all so obvious when you know the truth.
