I like playing World of Warcraft. And like millions of other gamers around the world, I spend hours doing so. One day while playing, I started thinking about the things I had to figure out to get to the level I am in the game ( I am currently at Level 52), and my mom yelled at me to get off the game. It occurred to me at the time that she didn’t really understand that I was working out some life problems in my mind, while I was playing the game. In other words playing the game somehow helped me figure out and deal with some day-to-day life things.
