Besides the peace that comes through a relationship with Almighty God, I believe there is no other peace obtainable that is comparable to the peace you feel in nature. The stresses of modern life wither away once you step foot into the woods. It is quite strange to see my peers and those older than me cling to modern technology like their lives depend on it. Every day it's a new movie, television show or video game they are talking about. I'm glad I left that lifestyle. There isn't anything inherently wrong with these things, just in strict moderation.
I didn't plan on writing this but why not. I was addicted to video games myself for seventeen wasteful years. It's what I thought, breathed and lived. I've sacrificed untold amounts of family time because I wanted to stay inside and play video games. Things that I should have been learning years ago I'm just now discovering. It was just two years ago, maybe three, that I began to take interest in the outdoors. It was about three months ago that I began taking this walk seriously.
My experience as a gamer always left me empty. I wasn't learning anything useful. I was idle, sitting in my room for hours DAILY. Trust me when I say I have found more fulfillment in my outdoorsman journey in the past three months than seventeen years of gaming ever gave me. Praise God I saw the light and ran towards it.
