Note: All of those who see reality as it is today, you might get confused with this post. I label this only to save those who have limited tolerance for other people's perspectives on life (or in anything in that case).
Now, off to the post.
Ever since I came out of school before my Spring break, I read every book I could get my hands on before my computer components came to me from UPS. The books I read were all depressing (mostly Stephen King books) and I couldn't wait to get my hands on my new computer. When the parts came in on Friday, the day after school was out, I assembled the thing and played games for a good sixteen (16) hour session. I did that all the way through today, playing my computer from sun rise to sun set, until I installed a game that I didn't play for awhile. The game was "Tomb Raider: Anniversary".

Before I elaborate why Tomb Raider is so important to the topic at hand, you must know a few things about me first. For the longest of time, I have been an upstaging thinker; I try making other people's lives better by giving them rare advice, advice not given within any movie or book. For as long as I can remember, I tried to make people remember me as "that stranger who told me something that changed everything". I know this is a flawed ego I have but to possibly achieve something like this would make one feel awesome for the rest of his or her life. Perhaps this feeling is an ambition of human behavior, or maybe it's just me, but regardless of which, people do need some outside help from time to time to keep their minds from the brink of insanity. I think alot, and sometimes, 'too much' as my peers tell me. Over-calculation, deep thinking, and over-working are three (3) good words to describe who I am. When I over-think, I see things to their very universal origins other than the message implied and that has made me a catastrophist.
I am a person who loves History and Literature; I can't stand to not have a history book around me at any time at home. We learn from our past so that we may find it useful to re-create or avoid events in history that could plausibly happen within the present/future. I really have no idea, or reason, why I love history, I just do. English is a consistent study I need to work on (I have Asperger's Syndrome, a minor but fatal dosage of the neurological symptom; it disintegrates my social skills as I get older).

I over thank everything to the point were I get depressed, de-motivated, and reluctant on personnel endeavors; the world looks black but till recently, I think I figured out a major role in the thinking process of modern society. Acknowledging the fact that reality and society don't exist, your brain is the only obstacle to overcome. The brain is very powerful, needless to say, but it can be easily manipulated into false pressures and anxieties. Obstacles, such as love and friendship, are not false situations but the rest over everything else is. It is hard to truly believe in another world when the physical, different one already exists; including the pressures that go along with it. But once one has dominated that task, life seems as if it were ever-blissful and merry for all of eternity, but I don't believe that it has ever been done before. Some people may call it imagination, some may call it a dream land, but you must accept the fact that the reality within your mind is the real one. And that brings me to believe that Tomb Raider is a relic of the good, old times.
I was only a small child when Tomb Raider came out; I didn't find it entertaining at that point in time because I thought of the puzzles as hard pieces of work; but the atmosphere and idea of the game brings to light the concept of Paradise. Paradise is not the tropical forests, paradise is not the beautiful coral oceans and with it's transparent water color, paradise is your lifetime goal. Your lifetime goal is a confusing one; unless if your either a greedy, or materialistic person. If one can not find out what it is they want to do with their life, they should analyze themselves to see exactly what they are. In terms of me, I am a history buff and nothing beats classical architecture of the Romans and Greeks; that time period was an awesome one. Lara Croft's house is a mansion with no T.V, no modern musical instruments, and no modern day furniture. It's a house of relics of the good old times, it's a house of history; manifesting any visitor who may come to see it with it's brilliance. I would not need a computer, rock music, and friends to live a life like that. What I wouldn't give for that kind of home; this house is a perfect example on life goals. Being a materialistic hound with absolutely no taste makes you a greedy person (I think), having only items will not bring happiness. But for those people who are materialistic and value a certain genre with specific means, that makes you a visionary of a dream. This dream I speak of is the dream that all of you have, your paradise. This paradise, that I speak of, is being surrounded by history along with physical representations of once great persons. Making trials of heroism, epics of far away lands, stories of great dispute and fantasy into reality at the only costs of remodeling. Making your mind's reality can become more comfortable with the new setting because your trying to make another reality that your brain recognizes as one of it's own. Lara Croft's home, ladies and gentlemen, is my paradise I wish for.
There are other life goals that can not be easily achieved unfortunately. Becoming an astronaut, be loaded with women to bang for a whole year *with celebrities on holidays and weekends*(a different one each day; don't try hiding it guys, you know you want it), and getting tons of money in a short amount of time are not all possible (but could be) dreams that can be achieved. But if I need to give advice to those who already, don't have or acknowledge, a life goal, I give you these words if at all applicable:
-------
Life is a big deceiver, much like an honest friend holding a vice-grip on your special place, but it isn't the ultimate fighter. Fighting is how life has prevailed through nature's vile actions for over the past years (I mean way back in the day). Life, within itself, is an entity of being that tempts us to fight so that we may live on, regardless of the costs. Friends. family, political correctness, societal issues, hereditary beliefs, and typical (family values, honorably code of conduct made up by your friends, etc.) beliefs within the world are things that should be thrown out of the window (be sure to forget them as well, buy Windex). Teachers, parents, friends, and employers are the kinds of people that you should not trust or believe. Listen to the stranger that roams the street and watch several movies to see their universal concepts if you can, combine and create a combination of that would create a custom-made moral system that you can work with and that also blends in with your "reality".
This is one of the more important types of living required to achieve Personal Enlightenment and Excellence.
