Addiction is a kind of happiness

I have been addicted to many, many things. That was all a long, long time ago. Gradually I found that there were less and less addictive things. In fact, it is easy to find something that makes you immersed in it and addictive. But what is not easy to do is to get rid of all distracting thoughts and ignore all the constraints of reality to truly become addicted to this thing without hesitation. For example, playing World of Warcraft, I still have a very strong interest in it. If I don't play it, I will feel bored. However, I always feel that it is impossible to enjoy it so much that I forget to eat and sleep. As for basketball, although we have found a field to play at these times, there are too few people who can play, and it is difficult to gather the ideal number of people. And as the temperature gets higher and higher, I don’t know if all people are so interested. Great motivation. As I get older, it seems that the number of things that I can really devote myself to for a simple purpose is approaching zero. Always remind yourself or be reminded that “there are more important things to consider.” If we continue to take this reminder seriously, we will often fall into an endless loop of thinking about the meaning of life. Constantly using contradictions and trade-offs to torture and hypnotize oneself.

In fact, it is a great happiness to be able to devote yourself to a hobby purely for happiness and pleasure, and to become addicted to one thing. But the world has deprived us of the ability to achieve this simple happiness. The reality makes us always worry too much and have too many distracting thoughts. We insist on giving all kinds of rich connotations and stuffing all kinds of other things into a simple happiness, thinking that it will be enough. Happier, in fact, the result is counterproductive (on the contrary, focusing on a simple high point often naturally produces some indirect pleasure). But it seems that time has put this curse on us, so that every time we are about to become addicted, we will be intimidated by others, or threatened by ourselves, and unconsciously rush to stuff other things into this simple beauty. Is this the price of growth?

Reality is cruel, boring, boring, pots and pans, water and electricity bills, Internet bills, houses, cars, wages, prices, stocks, loans, credit cards, face, vanity, these things If people are so upset, shouldn't they seek one or more primitive, pure, and simple sources of happiness? If you don't force yourself to seek it, will you waste your good time in suffering? Alas, maybe a person's life is a process of slowly closing his eyes, and the more he sees, the less clearly he sees, until in the end he never opens his eyes again.

Whenever I see children playing very high and high, they swear: When I grow up, I will buy a lot of such-and-such toys or play such-and-such games every day or something like that. At this time, I thought very pervertedly and viciously, God, let them grow up quickly and let their happiness be deprived of them quickly...

Attachment: Some of the addictive stories Things

When I was in elementary school and in junior high school, there was a time when I really, really liked origami airplanes. I remember that Yimin brought back two books teaching paper airplane folding from the United States, and the brothers always got together to study them. At that time, there was really a lot of emphasis on folding, including the weight, size, and proportion of the paper, the front and rear weight distribution of various folding methods, the angle of the wings, etc. Each folding method also had a cool name. Later, the technology became more and more advanced. As you get more advanced, there are various explanations for the corresponding techniques for each folding method during test flight, the shaking of the wrist, and the swing of the big and small arms. You can even use different models of aircraft for air combat... Folding in class, taking flight after class, and even "polluting the environment" after school. Exercise books, copy paper, and even some unimportant pages of textbooks have become various types of airplanes, scattered in every corner of Tongji. At that time, I was quite addicted to paper airplanes. Later, Yimin went back and became more and more nervous about studying, so I gradually stopped folding paper airplanes.

When I was in junior high school and senior year, there was a time when I really, really liked playing basketball. I remember that the NBA was the Bulls dynasty at that time, and the NBA in the Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman era felt much better than it does now. At that time, the high school entrance examination suddenly required a physical education test. Every morning at 6 o'clock, I had to get up to practice long-distance running. After practice, or before, I had to play basketball for a while, and then I had to play a dozen games almost every day before class at noon and after school in the afternoon. , weekends are almost indispensable, although there were very few weekends without classes in junior high school. At that time, I was competing with the college students in Tongji to play ball. As a junior high school student, it was not easy to squeeze out a living space in the playground where college students were rampant. I remember one time a college student deliberately threw our ball very far away and told us to get lost. I was so angry that I almost went home and stabbed him with a knife. Now after all these years, I still don’t know that college student back then. How are you doing? Have you been stabbed to death? At that time, playing basketball was quite addictive.

When I was in high school, I continued to be addicted to basketball. I would play a game whenever I got the chance. At noon and afternoon, I would go to the cafeteria to get a meal, and then I would take it to the playground to watch others play. Sometimes I would fight without even eating. In summer, I would sweat like a waterfall, and in winter, my whole body would smoke, as if the small universe was burning... I practice one or two footwork or movements from time to time when I walk.

When they encounter tall objects such as beams and leaves, they can't help but jump up and touch them to test their jumping ability. Some people even touched the heights at the classroom door when it was raining, and they slipped and broke their arms. ….

After high school, there was a time when I really, really liked playing table tennis. I remember that the table tennis room at that time was very heavily guarded and rarely opened. But with that evil enthusiasm, we would always "accidentally" make a small hole in the table tennis room door that could be drilled in and out by "just trying it out". Later, the door was nailed I found a piece of metal and couldn't get through, so I climbed in through the window. The table tennis room was upstairs in the bathhouse, so every time I climbed over, I had to bear the reputation of "climbing the bathhouse"... There are lights in the table tennis room, but sometimes at night The lights couldn't be turned on. In fact, they rarely could be turned on, so I got to the point where I used to turn on the emergency lights by climbing into the bathhouse to play ball. Later, my level got even higher, because I didn't have a good reputation for turning in and out every time. It is also more time-consuming and labor-intensive, so when you don’t have enough time, just put the only small table in the dormitory horizontally and put a few boxes of tapes as a net (remember that 4 boxes of tapes are placed horizontally to fill up the space), and then you can start the war. . Because the table is short and narrow (about 1.5 meters long and 1 meter wide), it was quite unattractive at first. However, as the technology became more and more sophisticated, fast breaks were actually possible on this tiny table. Drawing the ball, making loops, and even "stalemate at a distance". So, in response to the World Table Tennis Championships at that time, we named this kind of table tennis match in the dormitory "Indoor Table Tennis Match". At that time, playing table tennis was very addictive.

Later in high school, in addition to playing basketball and table tennis, there was a time when I really, really liked playing StarCraft. I remember that Internet cafes were just emerging at that time, and the teacher was very strict, but as long as we got the chance, we would play a few games. There were just a few people at first. I think it was the night after a mid-term exam. There were about 4 of us. We went to PS first, and then rushed to an Internet cafe (the name of the Internet cafe seemed to be New Space) to study interstellar. We chose to spend one night , only played one set. Later, as the technology became more and more sophisticated, more and more people were dragged into our trap, and eventually a huge interstellar team was formed, with almost 1 to 20 people at a time (usually called a "team") ), when you go to an Internet cafe, you can join in and buy a membership card that lasts for dozens of hours, and then everyone’s time will be charged to that card. Every time I go, it's usually 4v4, boring big ships. I went to many Internet cafes at that time, but the "Tianjiao" under the overpass of Yuemachang was the most frequented. Every Saturday, after the routine exam, a group of people would go there carrying their schoolbags. Whenever someone asked : What are you going to do? We smiled and replied: "Go home." Therefore, going to Tianjiao to play StarCraft was replaced by the word "go home". At that time, what I dreamed about was the Interstellar. During self-study, I was constantly struggling with the contradictory question of whether to go to the Interstellar or stay in the classroom to study. Playing StarCraft was very addictive at that time. When I was very addicted to playing StarCraft, all I thought about every day was that after I finished the college entrance examination, I would buy a computer so that I could play StarCraft every day. However, after I finished the college entrance examination and bought a computer, I played less StarCraft because it was difficult to connect with my classmates. Playing with the computer is really not that challenging.

When I was a freshman, there was a time when I really, really liked playing CS. I remember that at that time, I was not allowed to move my computer to the dormitory, so I could only go to the Internet cafe on Sinking Street to play. Later, I found a new place, 228 on the south first floor. It was said to be a computer room, but it was actually a place where I could play CS with my student ID. It's quite crowded every time I go. When CS is a game that gets popular, it is inevitable that people will talk about "Avenue A" and "Breaking Mines in Area B". At this time, the "teacher?" who collects the money will say angrily, "Please be quiet." Once, someone tried to get on the plane with a student ID card from another school, but was attacked by a group of people: When there were no vacancies, students from our school would of course be given priority. How could foreign enemies be allowed to come and act wild? Later, that place suddenly stopped being able to play CS. Maybe it was too noisy, so it was finally "sealed". Later, there was a computer in the dormitory, and I would often play without sleep or food in the dormitory. I remember a few times, when I was in 501, DF stayed up all night playing some weird maps with a few old gay guys from the electronics department, and I just stayed by the side. Looking at it, I always think of going to bed after playing two games, but the result is often "during the day while talking and laughing." At that time, playing CS was quite addictive.

After Warcraft 3 came out, I really, really liked playing Warcraft 3 for a while. I remember that there were very few people playing this game at the time, so I usually played the stand-alone version. One time, a person from dormitory 502 came to demonstrate against two hard-level computers, but was pushed away by the computer and returned angrily. Later, after the expansion pack The Frozen Throne came out, and with the rise of Haofang, more and more people played. At that time, we played 2v2 on Haofang almost every day with some people from far away in Shanghai, and we often beat others to the point where they dared not enter without us. game, so I had to change the name and build the game from time to time. Later, 3c came up again, and many, many people started to play 3c. The one who reached the highest level of playing 3c was undoubtedly dqm, micro management, tactics, consciousness, treasures, everything was clear and logical, and the APM actually reached an astonishing 200 or more. Unfortunately, he didn't do it at all. Play standard Versus. For a while, a map called shipEX was very popular, and several dormitories often made appointments to play ship. Words such as lord, ice, guard, dead black, black pearl, etc. became necessary content in daily conversations. . At that time, playing War3 was quite addictive.
