I definitely feel RPGs have the potential to shape how we view life and interact with the world, or at least teach us something about ourselves. Do you play a "good" character to reflect your ideal or do you take the "evil" path? Or, if you're a completionist like me, play through once on "Good" and then do an "Evil" run through as well? RPGs also typically do a good job of showcasing how our actions have impact on the storyline and the characters, etc. Obviously it's all make-believe, but the mechanisms can surely teach you a lot if you're looking for it.
