Hi Steemians
It was about 15 years ago where I didnt know how to drive or even use a gun. I was visiting my best friend to spend some time together and play computer games. He had a game on his computer that I didnt have "Grand Theft Auto". I became addicted to that game and spent hours in his house playing it. I became a small criminal who tried to make a name for myself in the Crime Business. Killing people, jacking cars and running drugs. It was all fun and I wanted more and more. I became a professional driver and drove all vehicles from school buses to nice sport cars. Cops became my biggest enemies and had to get rid of them. I Was always busy and had a lot of things going on, but life became more meaningful after having a mission.

I was free and felt that all the city was mine. I could go anywhere and take anything I want. My only nightmare was the police sirens. I had to make sure that I survive every mission and not get arrested. Violence became a part of my daily life. Had no partner or family to think about as all I could do is "Kill".
I wasnt the innocent beautiful child anymore. I stopped enjoying "Tom and Jerry" or " Doland's Duck". Couldnt find my happiness in simple things anymore as everything I wanted was power.

Thats what they did to us to make us see violence as a normal human nature. In computer games, in TV and in cartoons. Children see and learn violence from an early age until many of them commit serious crimes as teenagers. Then we ask ourselves "why they it!"
