This screen is not about a description but about a thought, that
crossed my mind a few days ago. I was going to the post office, near the
train station at the end of the town, to run some complicated real
quests. It is two streets away from my "castle", so it is not that far.
There I saw one of the grassy, muddy passages, we used to play around, when we
were kids. Back in the times, when I woke up in the "morning", there was
only one ultimate goal in my mind, to put my pants with the most
pockets and go to explore that narrow passages near the blocks and thick
plant at the end of the town. Or the beautiful and wild places near the
local river, where our parents forbid us to go. That was wonderful
times and I would like to have them again. But being 35 it is somehow
unnatural to call a friend and just explore the surrounding areas,
beside, we already know all of it.
So I continued to walk
to that post office that was getting bigger and bigger on the horizon.
But strangely, that thought didn't bothered my at all, when it should.
The thought, that I no longer can experience that exploration spirit
should have really bother me.
A few more steps and there
was the mailbox in front of the building. Then I realised, why it did
not bother me. Because I can experience that spirit again, at any time,
in games like World of Warcraft . It may be a virtual world, it may be
created by human and not by nature, but I'm not
choosy and I'm happy to just have the ability to feel it again. And that ability is available only from the last 15 years or so, so it is new for the human overall evolution. It's amazing, it should be explored and enchanted. I do not question the traveling concept, but how many of us have the time and the resources to travel any time they desire? :)
