Fuster Cluxx (value essay)

Value is something that can differ with facts and opinions. and there are certain valuable things that literally have a price, and some you might consider priceless. sitting by a fire with friends and family is something thats priceless to me. my play station 3 is something i enjoy that has a literal price.

Sitting, staring at a screen for hours. Having a great time. A playstation is a good functional system that lets me enjoy some of the fantasies that are in my mind. You can do things in video games that you could never do in real life, weather because you would be punished if you did, or because its physically impossible. It enables me to enjoy shows or music that could mean something to me.Sitting by a fire alone isn't something that means something to me. its the people you are with. They both mean something to me in some way. They both enable me to spend time with friends or family, although one is virtual and i don't get to be with them in person, it still lets me laugh and have a good time them as i would be able to sitting by a fire. Although you can get joy from others out of both, there is just something about sitting by a fire that makes everything a bit more enjoyable to me, whether its a corny joke somebody makes, or just sitting quietly enjoying the peace. I love spending time with those i already know in person, but playstaion allows me to meet new people weather they aren't so nice, or they’re friendly enough that i would end up meeting them in person. sometimes i find it funny when i come across somebody whos not so friendly. they’re always so upset and complaining about everything. you would never really find somthing like that by a fire, theres just something about it that kind of sets a mood of relaxation and happiness. it could be because usually fires are held at parties or special occasions which can set that mood as well. and if they are held at a party or special occasion then you may be able to meet new people too. (except hopefully friendly). On occasion that they are not friendly I can't just log off like I could on ps3, I would have to tell somebody, stay away from them, or just leave. one main thing that they both have in common is they both create good memories, weather its freaking out after getting your first kill in call of duty, or laughing with friends, they both create good memories, and sometimes possibly bad ones, but even if some of the memories aren't so great, when im older ill probably be sitting back by another fire laughing about them. a good memory is just the details of a fire in general. the warmth you get when near it when usually all around you is cold, the glow of it in the night drawing people towards it. the ashes sometimes scatter upward creating almost orange stars. the slight smell of smoke in the distance ensures you, its a good fire. one thing that a ps3 has an advantage with is that you can kind of use it whenever, i just have to be home. you can't really just have a fire whenever you want. i value both of them very much, but a ps3 can be replaced, and when possible you can just start another fire, but you can't remake memories that already happened. you have to make new ones. thats whats valuable.
