Thanks for commenting. It’s been a tough week of relaxing and watching movies this week so my apologies for the minor delay in replying to you.

With regard to a specific example, as you know from spending time with me, I’m usually playing some sort of game if not just to keep myself entertained. The internet is one of those funny old places where you just never know who’s reading what you write and so for that purpose I’m going to leave out specific examples so as not to have people I care about chase me with pitch forks.

For the most part I like for people to try new things. I like when people come out with ideas that they otherwise wouldn’t have and I like it when someone who’s always done things in a set way, goes out and does something different and enjoys it. This tells you a lot about my own beliefs and values and what I consider important for people.

For some people the idea of “playing games” is a negative thing and you hear people criticise other people for playing games etc etc. The truth is, we’re all playing games most of the time whether we know it or not. To me, it’s more dangerous to be unaware of the games we’re playing than it is to be aware of them and to even construct new games that get people thinking, learning, smiling and enjoying more of their own life.

Now you could wonder whether this entire reply is in its self a game to get you thinking in certain ways about certain things, but it’s not ….I’m just replying like a good host.

I look forward to talking more with you soon Hasu. Have a great start to 2009.
