One Hungry Demon...

... thrives very well in SL. This fellow is convincing you that what you need is somewhere out here, making you feel hollow and fragile, wanting to lock up what you have found, not wanting to share it making you picky, stingy and kinda closed off, making you fear that you can loose it. Even making your paranoia grow towards every new avi that enters your home and says hello.

In SL you have so many means to makes this demon grow, that it can literally drive you nuts. Alts, IMs, mapping, ways of retrieving info... the fact that the person your are hugging could be cybering another in IM at the same time, and the constant factor of the others being something else than what they appear to be, all this can feed the jealousy.

SL is a new social territory, and the ways we relate in RL doesnt allways fit well into it. Unless we learn the biggest lesson: that to love is to let go... coz what you feel is really inside you, not out there somewhere. Love is not a choice, but setting free is... *grins*... luckily!

3 had something to say:

You know, Kean, if you excorcise your demons - your angels may leave too. I think you have to take control of them before you can let go. Maybe the secret is to feed the demons regularly so they won't pick your eyes and brain with their sharp claws and beaks - and thus you can let go and let the love-angels soar.

(By the way, I can see from the time you posted this, that you wrote it while you were IM'ing me while I was IM'ing you AND slow-dancing with somebody in a jazz club. He-he...)

@mike haha... the more you feed them the hungrier they get... which reminds me.... is there any food that Miss Nommo doesn't eat... I'm booking a restaurant (I'll respond to IMs from absent friends tomorrow night BTW *grins*)
