Society has long considered video games to be devastating to a person. But the truth is not so?
Currently, although video games have been gradually recognized in society, opening more opportunities for success for players. However, not everyone accepts that. There are still many people who think that this is one of the reasons why a person’s life is ruined. Or like having a serious problem, the media still tries to redirect people’s focus to the influence of video games.
I do not deny that video games bring many bad effects. But we also need to rethink why it has such a negative effect. Everything that happens in the world can create positive value and cause negative impact at the same time. And the direction it goes in any direction depends on the actions and thoughts of each person.
Are video games really “destroying” a person? Join me based on what I have experienced to look back on an issue that is not new, but always causes a stir in society when it comes to it.
Video games are not bad, only bad players
This is something we already know all too well. There is a clear difference between “game passion” and “game addiction”, but many people mistakenly believe that it is about balancing life instead of spending all their time in the virtual world. In fact, many people who are “addicted to games” think that they are living with passion. They are ready to refute anyone who dares to mention that passion.
Video games create countless virtual worlds with the aim of helping people have moments of relaxation, de-stress, and challenge themselves with new things after a long tiring day at work. Thanks to that, game players will regain their spirit and good body to be ready to face bigger challenges in the society. True enthusiasts will never neglect their outer life.
The opposite of passion is game addiction. It makes players gradually confused between the real world and the virtual world. Sometimes game addicts who have had a traumatic past, they turn to video games as a sedative. But in the end couldn’t get out of it. Then when their entire mind is completely immersed in the virtual world, they can no longer perceive what they are doing in the real world.
Remember video games are just like a tranquilizer. If you use it properly, the right dose will be very good. However, when you overuse it to ease the psychological trauma, it will surely engulf you completely and cause incalculable harm.
Parental prohibition banning sometimes backfires
Many parents believe that as long as they completely ban it, their children will never touch video games. But reality has shown the opposite. The more parents ban, the more curious their children are, especially those at the age of starting puberty.
Maybe parents can only ban them at home, teachers can only ban them when they are at school, but children can still have access to video games outside of school hours. Especially when the net shops are more and more developed. I myself was banned from playing video games as a child, but in the end I still had a way of playing without anyone finding out.
Therefore, instead of banning, parents can completely “draw the way for deer to run”. It is better to let the deer run on a good path, than to let it run around and end up unable to find a way out. Adults only need to let their children play games at the right time, with a fixed time after completing all the housework or homework. That will help the kids understand the value of playing games after doing all their own work.
We can’t blame the parents in this case either. When the media has deeply rooted in the adult subconscious about the harmful effects of video games, surely no parent wants their children to be involved. However, banning negatively is never a good practice. Instead, we can play games with our children, or teach them the right way to play video games.
Are video games really destroying us?
If viewed objectively, the game is certainly not a bad thing. Playing the game properly is very good for mental recovery, increasing the ability to feel or reflexes of the hands and eyes. It even partly helps players develop their ability to understand foreign languages. These are the factors that adults can direct their children to play games in the most civilized and useful way.
Video games only really destroy a person when we overuse it. Until the point where we completely immerse ourselves in the virtual world, forgetting about the real world life, then nothing can be saved anymore. Not only video games, addiction to anything in this world also brings a lot of harm.
Let’s try to make the game just a true spiritual food, helping us to be entertained after a long day of studying and working stress. If you can develop it into a career that makes money, builds a stable life, even better. At the present time, society has a different view of video games. I hope in the future more people will accept it.
We can’t just because a few worms upset the soup but we can overturn the efforts of so many people who are working day and night in this game industry. Those are the people who are trying step by step to make video games erase the unnecessary negativity.
