What if we were being controlled and driven and manipulated by another being so to speak..

What if we were being controlled and driven and manipulated by another being so to speak.. maybe.... we.... are.... eeek Then that person truly does live in Mom's Basement... How about this? Our Avatars are real and are controlling what we are perceiving to be Real life. And If that perception is an absolute reality are we mentally ill? Or in a box? _____________________

ah what exactly defines mentally ill?
what is normal? I think those 2 things are as unique as each person, what one perceives as abnormal, another sees as completely sane.... take me for example... I consider myself a nut job, others thing I am level headed and sane... god do they have a lot to learn and I sooo wish whoever is controlling me would help me learn to type better hehe _____________________

How about this? Our Avatars are real and are controlling what we are perceiving to be Real life. And If that perception is an absolute reality are we mentally ill? Some of the most recent thinking in the field of quantum physics would probably agree with you. Check out the book The God Effect (I'll have to double check the title later), which is a book on quantum physics and consciousness. _____________________

An interesting question, but I ran into a mental loop because of it.
Here's the rub... I'm me RL and SL... So the "someone else" controlling my av is... still me.. but within the confines of the question, I must be someone else.. but I'm not good at being anything but me.. so I must be me... but... ARGH! My brain hurts! |

This reminded me of one of my favorite Douglas Adams quotes:
"He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it." _____________________

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things. Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut. |

if you can be you (and you are) both the sl and rl you, why not add another you? But if the two yous meet, won't they cancel each other out in a disastrous way? ie; matter vs. anti matter? _____________________
