The Authority In Femme
There is a dangerous, blurry thin line separating both worlds between reality and fantasy.
This is where the weak will cease to exist in the real world,
and become merely a ghost of their real life when, unnoticeably,
they begin to fade away from one side to the other.
They gradually begin to get consumed by the beauty of a self-created Avatar
and with what seems to be a perfect world that has been intentionally
created to be irresistibly inviting.
And why not?
This fantasy world has so much to offer to the weary heart.
It offers momentary freedom from the pain, the loneliness, and all the complications
that we, as humans encounter in real life.
Visiting this world is no longer just that, a daily visit or a break.
It can become an addictive escape and a new home for many
and that's when the "living" role is reversed.
Now life is being lived through an Avatar in a fantasy world
and the visiting switches from fantasy to real life.
The visit to real life consists of doing just what is necessary to keep the body alive
and nothing more (Food, water, sleep, etc.). Interaction with family and friends is lost
and no longer do they find any sense of value in what real life consists of and their only
purpose is to continue living life in the fantasy world.
This is what can kill their chance of a productive and happy REAL life.
The real world around them begins to crumble down due to their neglect
and consequently, they feel pulled even more to this more attractive and organized fantasy,
wherewith the click of a button they have the power and control to change everything
they don't like, unlike in the real world.
The people in their real lives sadly fall secondary while being replaced
with those they meet in this fantasy world. They tend to place more if not all interest
in saving the relationships in this fantasy life rather than working on saving the ones
in their real lives, which is concerning.
What frightens me the most is the total loss of interest to keep real-life first priority.
We are humans full of life with a life waiting for us to be lived outside the fantasy world.
By no means am I implying that Second Life is an evil virtual monster
waiting for the first chance to devour our souls. Second Life is simply that, Second Life!
It is a wonderful world that has the beauty of bringing people together
from every corner of the world to one place and uniting us because at the end of it all,
Second Life mainly gives us the wonderful opportunity to enjoy our time
in any way we choose by either meeting new people and making friends
or by exploring or being creative. The possibilities are truly endless.
Second Life is simply offered to us but we are the ones that decide
how we are going to use this virtual gift either for our benefit and not for our self-destruction.
With proper measures and a clear sense of what is real and what is not,
Second Life can be an amazing place to visit and explore,
where we can fly over oceans, jump higher than the highest mountains
and stay young and beautiful forever.
However, it is not the world we were meant to live our real lives in.
It is simply a mirage that though it can provide opportunity and comfort for us
and an escape for others, it remains to be just an illusion.
This is simply my personal opinion on this subject and doesn't necessarily
make it a fact. This article was inspired by some of the people in Second Life that so kindly
shared some of their experiences with me.
Thanks for reading!
