Video Games Were to Blame

Greek philosopher Democritus once said, “Throw moderation to the winds, and the greatest pleasures bring the greatest pains.” This video, made by a gentleman who feels his past excessive gaming habits are to blame for his current less than optimal life status, reflects the wisdom behind that quote. He hints towards the poor decisions he’s made over the years and the loss of balance that slowly occurred within his existence, but are video games to blame or the lack of self control he exhibited when faced with the choice of indulging in his preferred form of entertainment or performing real life responsibilities? I think we can all learn from his life-altering mistakes but with the realization that the blame is inaccurately placed.
