Abundance

Recently I started playing an online game with some friends. It works in realtime as a village builds an army to defend itself and prosper. The place we all go to play this game is not real. Its not a substancial space that exists anywhere else but over the cables spread between us. Second Life is something I am being invited to as of late. I read an article I have linked below and came to think a little more on the idea. Why would 7 million people be living a second life? This one is hard for sure. People crave connection. This online life is one way for people to get it. I only hear good things, strangely enough. And I've often heard of the inspiration it spawns in this world.

Globalization since 9/11 has been put on hold as more nation states embark on sovernty and separation from the whole, or at least from hemispheres. This internet thing has revolutionised "the people". We are no longer dependant on the churches, the schools or the governments to take care of what we know and focus on. We are all suddenly being given the opportunity to sing our own songs...no matter how aweful the tunes, or NEW.

Ok, imagine the replicators from star trek or some kind of electronic food maker. Now recall the phenomenon of MP3's, digital film and basic e-mail. All something that can be replicated over and over out of seeming no where. Don't you like that idea? I feel it deep down that is what we really are, or where we come from. No, not the computer, but a place of no limitations. We can press a button or have a thought and our desire is fulfilled. Suddenly I am thinking about this life and its mishaps...I have a feeling I'm here for a reason...
