Gamaholics
Gamaholics are defined as gamers who are addicted to online gaming.
Gaming has both advantages and disadvantages. However, the general idea of the public is that online gaming is bad. Online gaming is usually more addictive than normal gaming, and increasingly, more players are relying on internet cafes to provide them with private gaming, away from the close surveillance of their parents.
However, gaming has its advantages as well. For games that require thinking such as military strategy, it trains the players thinking skill, and also the players hand-eye coordination. Some games also link players together, and thus, they can have new friends, and some games also have educational values. There is also emotional fun in playing.
On the other hand, online gaming also has its disadvantages. Players may get addicted, and some games actually require purchasing. Also, as the players get more and more addicted, they may begin to ignore other things such as family and friends, and also homework. This antisocial behavior and irresponsible acts can actually cause the destruction of the gamers' lives, and sometimes, in extreme cases, the lives of others if the gamers go out of control for money and commit crimes for the money. However, these gamers only realise their folly way too late, and they feel remorseful and miserable, as do their families.
There are solutions available for gamers, such as counselling, insilling a curfuw, limiting computer time, or installing spyware on a computer to know when the gamer is playing.There have also been organisations formed to help with gaming addiction.

Letter to japanese surviver
Dear Mr Doi
my consoledences to you, you lost your family in the earthquake. This must have been a grave loss to you, for wounds of the heart are hard to heal. However, no amount of grieving will do any good, it hardly helps to bring them back to life. Also, if they are watching from the heavens, your grieving will also cause them to grieve as well. You should be strong, live on, make them proud that altough you have suffered such a great deal, you have the ability to endure through it all. No life is perfect, each comes with its own sets of pain and enjoyment. Life is fragile and precious, so you should cherish and appreciate it. I am sure that your family, although they have passed on, would want you to do so as well. Your happiness theirs, your sadness is also theirs. If you realise your dream, focus on it, I believe that your efforts will not come to nought. If you realise your dreams, I am sure that your family will be proud of you. Your children will be proud to have a successful father, and your wife will be happy to see her husband happy. Your ancestors will be happy that you have brought glory to their family name, and your friends will be happy, envious of your success. Grieving and sadness cannot remove itself or drive itself away from your heart;only true happiness can do that as the chinese saying goes, "the worst bankrupt comes when you have lost all hope, and life's greatest mistake is to abandon oneself"
