What kind of a sicko send Farmville requests in this day and age? Everyone has a farm, that was well tended to for about 2-3 weeks in 2010, but do we really need to be reminded of how that farm which was once a shining beacon of agrarian prowess is now a decrepit wasteland? Does this deep sense of failure and realization that we are all capable of serious neglect need to be brought to the forefront of our minds once more?
I have a lot of personal failings and I am ashamed of many things. Nothing though - absolutely nothing- is more debilitating than the memory of how I ran that ten square inch piece of land to ruin. It was my own selfish distraction, as I'm sure is the case of all lost farms in the ghost town of Farmville, that led me to forget my crops. When I think of my once prosperous fields of wheat, strawberries and corns- how lucky I was to have such diverse vegetation that seemed immune to seasonal growth patterns!- it brings tears to my eyes. I didn't know how good I had it.
That time is behind me now though. I move through life in a guilt-ridden haze, following similar patterns of indulgent commitment and sudden disinterest (Sims Social). I had buried the Farmville horrors deep in my subconscious, only to be awakened by some ruffians who have nothing better to do than send Farmville requests two years after the internet dustbowl.
