Second Life is a strange and wonderful place where I sometimes meet people who have the ability to embed themselves into my first life so completely that I wonder how I lived without them. So to those of you who claim that SL is just a game... that SL is SL and RL is RL and ne'er shall the two meet, I challenge you to take a risk.
Infuse your cartoon with your RL emotions. Treat the people who you meet inworld with respect. Stop using the "game" as a dumping ground for your emotional garbage and negativity and ridicule of others.
True courage is taking the risk to be your RL self inworld, to let yourself love and be loved.
Is that not just the absolute truth! Good job my friend...my the road stay straight, without many bends and turns!

It's some kind of magical. Self-pinching, delirious rightness. A very bendy path that wound back to the miracle next door.
ReplyDeleteGood for you kid. Some of us in RL are thinking of taking an entirely different leap; looking out to the sea from their nearest shore, contemplating too closely the fate of Virginia Woolf. The lighthouse is to the left of me, my home way behind. Rocks are in my pockets, and the simple act of breathing takes on new significance.
ReplyDeleteHere's to both of our seperate journies. May yours be kinder to you than mine was to me.
Love, Romero
