I just finished Final Fantasy IX and came up with this question. Once again, I'll open a discussion about videogames and why not computer games as well, in general.
Some people think playing videogames is bad for both mental and physical health. You escape from the reality, your fingers and wrists suffer, you get very frustrated when you lose, you don't get fresh air and so on.
But I like playing videogames and don't want to think it's bad for health. If I didn't play videogames, I still would be a drug addict or something (to clarify, I've never donme drugs!), and we're talking about which is worse. If I didn't escape reality to videogames, I still would read The Lord Of The Rings ten times in a row.
One more point. When I was in a hospital last time, there was a woman who insulted me all the time. I knew she had her own sickness but that didn't help. My self-esteem was extremely low when I came back. I don't know if this is a sensible thought, but I think if I had had videogames with me there, I would have been saved. Finishing videogames is good for at least my mental health. If I take part in saving the world every day, my self-esteem won't get low.
What's your opinion?
