We’re addressing the topic of Car Town Cheats, but it represents cheats of many sorts.  Car Town is definitely gaining a substantial fan base, old and young from all walks of life.  It’s not difficult to comprehend, since it provides a way for people to have an out.  But almost as soon as Car Town makes its way up on Facebook, there are players of the game that are immediately thinking Car Town Cheats.  Isn’t that telling?  Well, apparently there is a supply for Car Town Cheats as well as a demand.

It isn’t a big deal, right?  Car Town is only a game, no?  Isn’t it fine to cheat in a game, especially because nobody gets hurt?  No harm, no foul.  Does this thought pattern slide into other parts of our lives, though?  It is for contemplating; you make the call.  Compare it to things in your past.  We each have done things we regret.  What led us into those mistakes is a great starting point for analysis.  It might have been that we were just moving along unsuspecting; we were behaving as if not in reality (like in a game).  We don’t expect or anticipate any consequences.  Our thoughts bleed into our desires and then reality without us realizing the connection at times.

Are we saying that if you make use of Car Town Cheats you are necessarily going to turn into an axe murderer?  Drop the drama.  Each action is a combination of all of our thoughts, not just some of them.  All of our thoughts have an effect.  Can we pronounce that Car Town Cheats caused a person cheat on X,Y, or Z in real life?  They are messing around in Car Town and think, “Hey this is just a game, and in real life I never have had a chance to ride in a Lamborghini, much less own one.”  They then seek out some Car Town Cheats to help them buy that Lamborghini…

It’s not to say that there is a direct correlation between Car Town Cheats (or other game cheats and hacks) and being dishonest in the real world.  But there is no clear science for cause and effect with thoughts in general, or “quasi-crime” (virtual cheating). There were of course some other thoughts in the background (consciously or subconsciously) that led to thinking it was of no consequence to have and use those Car Town Cheats, or shall we say, Car Town Tips.  Then, perchance could it continue to another link in the chain, like cheating in your everyday life?  Obviously, there is still freedom to choose, but is there momentum or even a part of our brain that doesn’t separate reality from virtual reality, and causes a predisposition?

This is probably a debate that won’t stop, and it isn’t a definitive explanation or exhaustive discussion, but really a stop-and-think exercise.  Even if a person does decides to make use of Car Town Cheats, it may be smart to think on a conscious level what the consequences may end up being (good or bad), and what part intention plays in it as well.
