Licenziato perchè gioca a FarmVille

Spread the love

E’ accaduto in Bulgaria. Un funzionario statale ha perso il posto di lavoro perché sorpreso a giocare a FarmVille, il popolare gioco Facebook, durante le ore di ufficio. L’uomo, invece di lavorare, è stato colto in flagrante mentre si collegava a Facebook per mungere una mucca virtuale.

Una delle caratteristiche del gioco, per chi ancora non lo sapesse, è proprio quella di replicare sullo schermo tutti i meccanismi fondamentali del lavoro agricolo, cioè seminare, arare i campi, raccogliere la frutta, e naturalmente occuparsi degli animali che vivono nella nostra fattoria.

FarmVille, sviluppato dalla società Zynga, è uno dei giochi di maggior successo di Facebook, ma è anche uno dei social games che richiede maggiore impegno e tempo da dedicare al gioco, se si vuole salire di livello e guadagnare monete per ampliare e migliorare la fattoria e trasformarla in una piccola azienda agricola virtuale.

Se il campo è molto vasto, se non si dispone di un trattore (anche quello virtuale) e gli alberi e gli animali sono numerosi, giocare a FarmVille può rubarvi anche un’ora al giorno. Evidentemente, lo sfortunato funzionario, ha solo voluto assicurarsi che il suo piccolo allevamento rendesse bene. Ma come spiegarlo al capo?

  1. Man is said to seek happiness above all else, but what if true happiness comes only when we stop searching for it? It is like trying to catch the wind with our hands—the harder we try, the more it slips through our fingers. Perhaps happiness is not a destination but a state of allowing, of surrendering to the present and realizing that we already have everything we need.

  2. All knowledge, it is said, comes from experience, but does that not mean that the more we experience, the wiser we become? If wisdom is the understanding of life, then should we not chase every experience we can, taste every flavor, walk every path, and embrace every feeling? Perhaps the greatest tragedy is to live cautiously, never fully opening oneself to the richness of being.

  3. If everything in this universe has a cause, then surely the cause of my hunger must be the divine order of things aligning to guide me toward the ultimate pleasure of a well-timed meal. Could it be that desire itself is a cosmic signal, a way for nature to communicate with us, pushing us toward the fulfillment of our potential? Perhaps the true philosopher is not the one who ignores his desires, but the one who understands their deeper meaning.

  4. The essence of existence is like smoke, always shifting, always changing, yet somehow always present. It moves with the wind of thought, expanding and contracting, never quite settling but never truly disappearing. Perhaps to exist is simply to flow, to let oneself be carried by the great current of being without resistance.

  5. Virtue, they say, lies in the middle, but who among us can truly say where the middle is? Is it a fixed point, or does it shift with time, perception, and context? Perhaps the middle is not a place but a way of moving, a constant balancing act between excess and deficiency. Maybe to be virtuous is not to reach the middle but to dance around it with grace.

  7. Friendship, some say, is a single soul residing in two bodies, but why limit it to two? What if friendship is more like a great, endless web, where each connection strengthens the whole? Maybe we are not separate beings at all, but parts of one vast consciousness, reaching out through the illusion of individuality to recognize itself in another.

  10. Time is often called the soul of motion, the great measure of change, but what if it is merely an illusion? What if we are not moving forward but simply circling the same points, like the smoke from a burning fire, curling back onto itself, repeating patterns we fail to recognize? Maybe the past and future are just two sides of the same moment, and all we ever have is now.
