Girl Starved to Death in South Korea (article)

I cannot begin to imagine the insanity of this couple. If you are not capable or taking care of your own kid, then don’t have any from the start. The fact that these people are grown adults makes the situation even worse. How do you forget to feed your own child? The obsession with raising the virtual daughter, Anima, is just too ridiculous. I can’t wrap my head around it. This couple obviously has no sense of responsibility or any sense for that matter. This is why people need to have jobs and have something to do to keep them busy and away from the internet. If you have no work and are free all day, then it is possible to spend that many hours on the internet playing such a game. I actually think that these virtual life games need to be banned. I know I may sound a bit extreme but if people had only one life, they’ll take care of it. People play these games because they are not satisfied with their own lives. This is why so many of us look for another source of escape, and with today’s sense of imagination, it’s pretty easy to get hooked.
