For those of you interested, Cory late of LL has taken a job at a university.

Another example of how SL residents can affect RL.
Although we may prefer that anonymity be the key to SL, it is true that the changes and relationships we experience here do affect us in RL.
I know I am a lot more tolerant and although my friends are flocking to join SL, they are a lot less judgmental these days. And my creativity is awake and alive after being dormant for a long time. I learned a lot about who I am when I'm free and can do what I really want and that has affected my RL too.
My question is I guess..like Cory, how do we take what we have experienced here into RL?

I've learned patience. I don't always apply it in RL, but now I know I can when I need to.

I've learned that a pry bar to the internet connection doesn't fix it. Otherwise, I'll go with the patience. I learned the not giving a damn from RL

Folklore used to be passed down from generation to generation, back in the days when people did not lock doors and talked to their neighbors. Now folklore is kept in libraries so that the odd person can research it for use in sports presenter chat between plays at the Superbowl. _____________________
