"you still have to play to be human"

Someone said that to me just now, I suppose he must have meant I have to play [on the MUD*] to be human, when I first read it I thought he meant I was not yet complete and have to pretend I am a human, play a role.
I am in over-analyzing mode. I am sure there is a name for finding deeper meanings (then intended) in people's statements.

What do you do if you have wronged someone, but can't define how? When you regret something but can't put your finger on it? How do you make something right when you don't know what's broken? But you can _feel_ it, it's a regret you can't get rid of, a stubborn smell of something foul.
Do you toss out your apologies like candy and hope for delieverence? Or do you just let it be...
I just want to fall on my knees and beg.



*A MUD is a multi-user game. This particular one has a web page: [Broken link removed by Moderator] and can be access via a MUD client or telnet: [Broken link removed by Moderator]
