Hello Second Life,
I am having a beautiful sunny day here in Texas (USA) with a nice gentle breeze and from where I am
sitting, I can see the trees softly dancing back and forth. It is a beautiful view indeed and it gives me a
warm feeling of being alive and part of our beautiful world.
The other day I got a nice surprise when one of my SL friends from 5 years ago,
unexpectedly IMed me to say hi after all these years. It was Riyad Rozen, from Egypt
that out of the blue suddenly had a "Lori's memory". He thought that probably I had forgotten
about him, but I don't forget friends (well maybe sometimes :P) especially those that impacted my
Second Life experience in a very meaningful way. Anyways, I was so glad to hear from someone from
the past since sadly, friends come and go all the time in Second Life, at least for me they do. Only Polly
Reina, Gee, and Steppenwolf Crescendo remain from the friends I had when I started SL over 6 years
ago. If I could gather every tear I shed every time a friend is gone, I could fill up an ocean.
Moving on to something else before I start getting too nostalgic. ;)
Religion and politics are two subjects that I really don't like talking too much about because they are so
controversial. However, a religious documentary that I watched recently really opened my eyes. By
focusing on the documentary in a more human sense instead of the religious aspect, the documentary
made me realize that by better understanding other people's faith and respecting their practices, I can
become a better person.
As I've mentioned before, I am really into documentaries and the other day I was watching one called
"Meet The Mormons", which kind of made me view them so differently from how I did before. I was
raised in the Catholic faith but to be sincere, I don't practice my religion anymore. Anyways, the
documentary centers around young Mormon men leaving their homes for two years to deliver the word
of God. We've all seen them, in two's, knocking at doors and if you are like me, we're not really
interested in what they want to share with us. Yes, I admit it I am one of those people that either tries to
dismiss them as soon as possible or simply will not open the door.
In this documentary, though, I got to see how hard it is for them when they are away from their families
and how truly bad they are treated on a daily basis by many of the people they encounter. It gave me a
better appreciation and understanding of what they do. I am not saying that I'll be turning Mormon or
any other religion any time soon, but thanks to this documentary I realize that I can be more friendly the
next time they come knocking at my door. I especially feel a huge admiration for these young men, or
any other religion like Jehovah's Witnesses, etc., for going out there in the name of God, in the cold,
rainy or hot weather knowing very well that most of the doors they'll be knocking on, won't be open to them.
Thanks for reading my beautiful people!
Mucho love,
Lori Novo
