   When playing a video game, I am   
   being involved as being as an   
   avatar type of sorts.   
      
   That little animated dude/critter is me. I am it.   
      
   Of course it's a subset of me, naturally.   
      
   To be an avatar, one may wonder,   
   an avatar of what?   
      
   An avatar of something greater?   
      
   Would the avatar then, not be that thing?   
      
   No matter how small a subset?   
      
   What do you hope to be an avatar of?
