I don't jump off cliffs,
because I would die.
I don't run people down,
because I would go to gaol.
I don't hit people,
because I will get hit back.
I don't blow things up,
because there are consequences.
I do not do these things in real life,
but in video games
I will jump off a cliff,
I will run people down,
I will hit people,
I will blow things up.
I do not do these things in my life,
because I can't respawn.
