When we seek haunted houses, hayrides etc. When we box, or play video games we seek immersion.
So as to say no one wants punched in the face, yet the same person may box. To touch on the truest form of the experience with safety.
What is one punch in the face perhaps in the grand scheme of a 70- 100 yr life? Near nothing.
What is the horror felt in the hauted house 3 days later?
If we are to live eternally, and forever, what would anything mean on earth?
Yet if we are on earth with a mind that sometimes struggles to step out of our immersion, if the experiences are not quite simulation, but rather 100% real. In this game when we die, we truly die.
Could this in a sense of an eternal being be the ultimate experience? To sit atound talking not of that feeling similar to risk of death like we do here with a VR game, but to be able to talk of actually risking it. Could that be in essence the greatest gift of life? That in eternity we will cherish such a thing?
When we play a game of course we perfer not to lose, we perfer to win win win, to be the only combatant standing in the end with a perfect score. But the only thing that made the game totally fun was the risks of losing, the true fact that we do and did or could.
When we have cheats to be totally unstoppable, sure that can be fun for a few moments, but usually more time is spent playing with risk.
People lament bad things on earth, but if we are to be eternal, would it not be the greatest thing to have for but a moment lived as mortals?
I once surmised that when Moses was killed but admitted into heaven it seems like not a bad punishment yet perhaps like leaving a job for a far better one but regretting not being able to finish that project.
But greater still perhaps it is like being taken out of the grestest amusement park ride, having your game turned off too early. And much as a game today, an online live one. If someone turns off the one you are in because you are throwing a tantrum of frustration, perhaps it is punishment that never can that round be redone, never re experienced. Sure even if your frustration in a game were you were losing, not getting to be in the conclusion is often still sad indeed.
