Reflections On SL part one

I cam here for a purpose, part of a mission, with an agenda (that I do not hide). 'Virtual' worlds are important to the future of humanity for many reasons, and Second Life is the most influential one. What happens here is very related to the future....
Sometimes I am very busy working on projects, some of them quite large, and I don't spend as much time as I should relaxing, playing and exploring the wonders of this world. (I always make a point to play with slaves, but there are so many other ways to play)......
It's also a challenge in SL because of the endless stream of problems that appear once you've been here a while. It's that 'third phase'.....

Phase One: You explore, learn your way around, meet people, set up your home, establish yourself.....

Phase Two: you grow your career, a business, a passion, a mission. You network, get involved in groups that matter. You throw parties.

Phase Three: You've made it! Now you get to be depressed and have enemies.

Well, if you are like me, you do not come to SL to have enemies. (though I suspect some do come here for that!). Who has time for it? Besides, I took a vow to never become angry in SL. Sad or depressed, sure...but angry? Never. This doesn't mean enemies won't try to have you!

Anyway, with the 'diverse' mix of people in SL, it's just a matter of time before you encounter some of the worst types imaginable. (that's why it takes three phases to get there). Second Life is also unique in that, bad behavior is far more tolerated than you'd expect. If you try to live a good life, you will find yourself attacked by those who are trying to live a bad life every day. This is not or the faint of heart.

Is SL a good place to be? For the first two phases, absolutely....

Once you reach the third phase, it's a question of your commitment and ability to suffer fools. Luckily, most of them come and go like the tide. Sadly, many of them come and go like the tide...

A Goddess moves on, as She must.....
