GET OFF YOUR ASS AND DO SOMETHING USEFULPeople are quick to criticize without stopping to consider what they’re actually watching. This latest video, where a man is "playing" with a lightsaber, has received its fair share of criticism, being labeled as "useless" and "pointless." But what really is useless?
What people seem unwilling to understand is that activities like this are not only fun, but also have real benefits for the body and mind. Hand-eye coordination, reflexes, physical exercise—it's all there, even if they can't see it at first glance.
How many of those critics play video games, surf, skydive, or mountain bike? All these activities have something in common: they don’t seem “useful” at first glance, but each one brings something valuable, whether physically or mentally. But do we really need everything we do in life to have a “useful” purpose in the traditional sense of the word?
People still learn fencing today, even though sword fights are a thing of the past. The same goes for these kinds of games. It’s a creative way to exercise both body and mind.
Just because this man is doing that doesn’t mean he’s not doing something "useful" with his life. It doesn’t mean he doesn’t work to support his family, maintain personal relationships, or neglect other things that others might consider "useful."
