For me, its all about the 4 noble truths and the middle path. Whenever I find myself getting really involved my life (having intense emotional experiences like anger, or guilt for killing bugs while driving), I remember that this is just a game and am reminded not to take it too seriously. At the same time, I'm playing this game so I wish not to take it too lightly. It's the ultimate Koan, the dicotomy, or the dynamic tension that makes this game so engaging. In my current understanding, killing the bug is not the way, while avoiding the bug is not the way, while saving the bug is not the way, while ignoring the bug is not the way...
The middle path.
