On my kinda last vent I was talking about those that see sl as a game
and those that see it as a social platform with real people. All these
vents are coming from weeks of discussions with Mia on the subject of
cheating on your rl with being with someone in sl. It resulted her
writing her brilliant post about the subject and making this discussion
public and with moving the wheels in my head to that game/social media
vent.
Still pumped by it and by remarks made lately I hereby present a new vent… (longer, I apologize, I really do)
There are again groups I can divide this new vent into…
- Those that are sharing the fact they are on sl with their rl world. Their spouses, kids, dogs etc. That includes sharing the fact they have relationships on sl.
- Those that share the fact they are on sl, but not all of it. Not telling spouses for example about an sl relationship. As a long lost friend once told me: “I tell what I can, I don’t tell what I can’t”. I’m on that group by the way.
- Those that hide the fact they are on sl from their rl.
I think groups 2 and 3 are the most common on sl.
Do I think one is better than the other? I don’t know. ALL groups have
good things about it and bad. ALL groups think their way is the best one
and ALL groups are right!
“Judge lest thee be judged”.
We are all in sl for OUR OWN reasons and we all deal with our real life with OUR OWN way.
I know that I can’t hide the way Mia or Harry make me laugh for
example. So my husband recognizes my laugh when I talk to them. I know
that when Val and I were talking on voice about how men become babies
when having the flu was funny and my husband actually took part in that
talk. I tell what I can I don’t tell what I can’t.
I know that
people on group 3 usually don’t share sl because they know (like most of
us do) that people that don’t go on sl, can’t understand it and might
even be hurt by it. I know it becsue I was on that group for the first
few months of my sl. Whether there is a relationship on the grid or not,
it doesn’t matter. “Why do you need a second life?” “Isn’t the people
there are mostly sick and miserable?” “Am I not enough for you?” “Are
you not happy?” Haven’t we all heard those questions? Haven’t we ALL
asked ourselves those exact questions when we first logged in? I know I
have.
I also know that group 1 has its positive and negative
aspects that I won’t state here because it is NOT MY PLACE. I never been
on that group so WHO AM I to judge?
Yes this is a vent. Yes it
might be personal and the people around the block could here my typing
over the construction sight noise…. But we all do that little sin… We
all judge left and right. But on that matter… Let’s all just stop. Each
of us has his/her own reasons.
