Are You Addicted? 你是否上癮入迷?

Have you ever addicted to anyone or anything? Are you now addicted to face book or Farm Ville? This month I decide to play the games of the face book for reasons. I found there are numberless games and we can use increasingly to indicate this situation.


Recently I have heard at least three friends of the internet claim that they are addicted to different kind of face book's games. Even one wife of them present her advice and protestation while her husband just enjoy in planting and expending his land of the virtual world. 


Can you image this? While this husband is celebrating the expending or the new project with a internet lady, yet his beloved wife feels angry and disappointed very much.  I know both what this couple feel and protest well, it is just as Ted illustrated here.  And this is part of the reasons why  that I rare write my blog these two weeks.


We know there is another world , that is a virtual world. Is that you, you are so preoccupied that people have to wait for you just a minute? Trying to slay a  nine-headed dragon with your new Sword of the Dark Gods? Are you enjoy to be a hero, a rich, successful and valuable personal in this virtual world? 

What is your identity and reality? What is your focus and priority ? It is true that "Everything is permissible"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"—but not everything is constructive.(1 Corinthians 10:23 NIV) "Everything is permissible for me"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me"—but I will not be mastered by anything. (1 Corinthians 6:12 NIV) Let's think about it and apply it. 1 Corinthians 9:25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.

你是否曾耽迷過任何人或事?你是否對臉書或開心農場上癮入迷?這個月基於數個原因,我決定要玩玩臉書的遊戲. 結果我發現有數不完的遊戲而且還不斷的在增加中.泰德在此所描繪的十分傳神,不是嗎?這也是為何這兩週我較少寫網誌的部份原因.

最近我至少聽到有三個網友宣稱,他們各自對不同的臉書遊戲上癮入迷.甚至其中還有一位男士,正當他正享受在這虛擬世界中的種植和擴大農場時,太太卻提出嚴正抗議和建言.當這位先生正和一位女網友舉杯同賀版圖的擴張及攜手完成一新的農場企劃案時,他所愛的太太卻對先生極度的投入與沉迷在這真人動畫虛擬遊戲中感到既生氣又非常失望.你能想像這種情況嗎?我能了解兩造之間的感覺,一方面我知道為何雀躍入迷,另一方面我也能體會太太的感受和抗議.


事實上還有另一個世界,就是人造的虛擬世界. 你是否正是泰德在此所描繪的主角呢?你是否已被虛擬世界所佔據,以致你週遭的人需要再等你一下呢?你是否正試著要以黑暗之神所賜的劍去追殺那九頭怪龍呢?是否你正在虛擬世界中享受成為一位有價值,成功,富裕英雄的成就與喜悅呢?


你真實的身份與認同是什麼呢?什麼是你的異象焦點與優先呢? 聖經說的是事實:凡事都可行，但不都有益處。凡事都可行，但不都造就人。(林前10:23)凡事我都可行，但不都有益處。凡事我都可行，但無論那一件，我總不受它的轄制。(林前6:12) 讓我們一起再思並實踐它。 凡較力爭勝的，諸事都有節制，他們不過是要得能壞的冠冕；我們卻是要得不能壞的冠冕。(林前9:25)
