OK. Summarise SL in a single sentence.

You can be cynical, humorous or even affectionate.

I am going to cheat and quote someone else.

An imaginary world where real life people pretend not to be real life people, or masturbate.

It's just a subset of real life . . .

A place to pretend to be someone you're not and find it's who you are.

SL is proof that even in a perfect technological utopia, people will still scramble for money.

Second Life is a mirror, and a place to create.

By a mirror, I mean it shows me myself, good and bad, without judgment. It is up to me to be aware enough to pay attention and to accept that.

It is also a place to create, just as in RL. What will I do here? Of course, this will also mirror who I am.

A place to do things that, for a variety of possible reasons, you cannot do in RL

I turn my face to the SL sun, and step inside, warmed and beckoned and safe to be me.

Sometimes you want to go where no-one knows your name; and that's SL.

For me it's this. One of the places I go. Even though I have a different name and appearance and I can fly there, I'm still trying to be pretty much the same person I'm trying to be everywhere else I go.

AND he didn't correct it . . . !

/me looks fearfully out her window for the four horsemen . . .

(But he's actually right. SL is a subset of RL experience.)

I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it's both.
