Many people of the world today seek immortality in some way, shape or form; Weather it be from a sculpture, an idea, or a creation. Yet many have already found ways to live forever, static to times dynamic flow.
Video games.
Many people who play video games allow their characters to reflect their soul, who they truly are, they design their characters to have their own faults, their own traits, they truly make themselves when they make their characters. These characters may not turn out "Perfect" as defined by the game, but they turn out perfect as defined by the player.
These characters are the mastercraft of the player, they represent their true being, who they really are, not who they present to others. The player may pass on as time dictates, but their characters remain, the love and care they poured into these characters remains, and when the next generation plays these characters, they can feel the shards of the original players soul left in these characters.
Often i have found that many of the next generations characters find that playing these characters is a way to retain a connection to one passed on, a link between souls if you will. This connection runs deeper than any friendship, and can transcend time and space and remain eternal.
Many things fade with time, people, buildings, ideas, thoughts, yet video games will never fade away, they are the one thing static to times dynamic flow, sure they may change shape, just as today's controllers have, we started off with a simple stick and a button, now we have two sticks, a directional pad, four buttons, two triggers and two shoulder buttons.
We may grow up, grow old, and be unable to continue our crusades into these games, but then we can hand them on to the next generation, pass onto them our teachings, our knowledge.
When we do, we transcend time and space into the cosmos, and become immortal.
All through video games.
