What if Minecraft isn't just a survival game, but a realistic life simulator. Just like real life, it's boring, repetitive, and depressing, in a way. You're alone in the world. Life doesn't change unless you make it change, much like the game. It's not a good existence going through life feeling alone, like nobody takes notice of your accomplishments. The game, much like life, improves when you give yourself a reason to get up and out of your house to accomplish something, and even more when you have friends to work, play, and hang out with. Staying away from humans means you don't have to consider outside criticism and watch your original idea get buried under outside input, but what's it all worth, with nobody to show it to?
...What if what I know as life is all just a metaphor, trying to tell me something deep and important? What if I'm just in a dream, or a simulation, and all the people I know as my friends are just philosophical zombies, like cleverbot? What if something happened in another reality that has me trapped in this one? What if I'm not even the person I think I am, just a spirit trapped in a body for so long, I don't remember what the world without one is like? ...What if?
BUT HE-HEY THAT SOCK OPERA AMIRIGHT?!?!
