Yoshi's Dilemma

Tetris Attack

There are many video games in which success demands that the player search for a possible move, set up the move, then immediately shift their attention away to another part of the game to find another move, never dwelling on the move already made to see the outcome: by letting one's gaze rest upon the outcome of one's move, one loses precious milliseconds that cannot be spared; there is continuous action in the game, tending to some limit which, once reached, ends the game.

Therefore, to keep ahead of the game's movement, the player has to make use of every second and millisecond to make their successful moves. The searching eye of the player must never rest on what the player has achieved. If one waits and views what they have done, they soon lose.

So it is with Reality.

Reality as we have it is our awareness resting - lovingly and satiate - upon the creations of consciousness. We stop our searching, and admire what we have done.

We lose - sooner or later.
