SL Manifesto

First I want to say that I did NOT write the following but sadly I can't give credit to the person that did. I am not sure who it was as a friend gave this to me. I thought it pretty much summed up SL tho and I totally agree with it!


We all are on Second life for different reasons. Some of us are here to enhance our real lives, some come to escape the harsh realities that we face day to day, some are here to to forget, some to remember.

No matter what the reasons we are here, we bond. We make friendships and form relationships that go beyond what we ever imagined we'd find. We laugh, we cry, we live, and we share our experiences good and bad.

We are all unique, different from each other in our own ways. None of us look the same, talk the same, or feel the same. We are individuals, yet we share this commonality... this bond. We share this world. The good, the bad, the laughs, the tears, the love, the heartache. We share it all.

We take a lot from this world. Sometimes the things that happen here affect us so deeply that they effect or first lives.

We bring different aspects to this game... this world, but the element we all bring is the Human Experience.

In this world material possession mean nothing. It does not matter what you do for a living or how much money you make. It does not matter if we are wearing hand-me-downs or the latest fashions. It does not matter what we look like or if we are tall, fat, skinny, short, dark skin, light skin. All that can be changed by the click of a button. The only thing that truly matters in our world, is how we treat one another and the words we leave.

We love, we help, and yes we even hurt each other. And we can't live in the world alone - we all need each other.
