Reality

I love the term reality. It has some many different meanings and cogitations associated with it. My case in point is a story from Japan. It is a place of great honor and civility. In helping keep this tradition a story comes to us of a woman who was divorced for no reason given. So, what does one do when this happens? Well, in this woman’s case she killed her husband in a fit of anger. “So, what?” you may say. This kind of thing happens all the time. How should we punish this woman? Do we do the same thing we do every time this happens? Throw her in jail and lose the key? Well sound ideas for this reality but that if it was not this reality. What if the real kicker is she did it in an online game to someone she never even met before. This is the fun of reality. So, what do? In this reality she is a murder, in the other reality, just taking revenge. Now, I am in no way trying to say the two worlds are the same. My question is with everyone going online and virtual realities becoming people’s true world, what happens when the realities blur? What happens when people cannot tell one reality from the other? They get confused and act the way they would in another reality. I am not talking about average person that goes online. What I am talking about the people who have issues in this reality and go to the other one to escape. This woman got mad and killed a virtual person. When the next time happens will it be a real person? It is something to think about. I do not have the answers. Hell, it may not even be a big deal but with the way the world is going and the problems people have what to say it won’t get worse. Then what happens to your reality? http://videogames.yahoo.com/feature/online-divorcee-jailed-after-killing-virtual-hubby/1259111
