After months of anticipation Pokémon Go is now available for everyone in the world. For those who don't know anything about Pokémon Go- it's a location based augmented reality mobile game developed by USA based software company Niantic, they have been working for development of this game from past 9 years and at last they are becoming successful by making people crazy, in this game we need to collect virtual Pokémon from different places. We need to go in search of them, to collect 151 Pokemons is the aim of player. Many people said that they started venturing out by coming out of their comfort zone in search of Pokémon as it not possible to play game inside home. People have forgotten everything food, study, sleep and they are collecting Pokémon( virtual being which never exist in reality).
And its surprises to me that why maximum Pokémon are located where people gather more in number such as temples, mosque,highways, schools and colleges why?? So that people will be distracted and remain away from realistic world. We can observe the people, they are just with their mobile and collecting Pokémon. Its just a start of game later there will be competition amongst the players.
I just heard weird news that 2 young lads entered the house of one person in midnight in search of Pokémon and man shot both of them thinking that they are thieves searching something everywhere.
How this games can take away one from realistic world can be seen by example of boy praying for safety of Pokémon which are in Syria and other ISIS dominated countries, he has forgotten the people who are actually suffering there but asking the world to come for Pokémon's rescue. One player drove onto cop car because Pokémon was located there and there are so many incidences like this which made people mourn on the death of relatives due to addiction to this game. By the this is just a start now, soon there will be competitions amongst the players and I am wondering what will happen when players starts competing ??
From above examples we can see that people are taking imaginary being and world so seriously forgetting the real one, our own soul, our own self, its just like taking dream of tiger's chasing seriously and start running actually. Our soul, our heart will be fulfilled when we are connected with God only, as fish is happy when its in water and not by providing luxuries and artificial needs, it's real need is ocean, similarly soul's real need is to be in the ocean of devotional service of God where he will be always happy else he will be always mourning even one may provide everything for enjoyment.
