Ignorance is Bliss...

Unless you are already ignorant, then the whole happy principle negates itself, you don't know you why you are happy, since you don't know to be living in ignorance, but sometimes information can truly rain on your parade and there are some things that -at least in my particular case- I am happy not knowing.

Both my sons are sexually active, I know this to be true and I rather not know the details, only thing that matters is the sound knowledge that they are being responsible while doing so; now when it comes to relationships there are things that are rather not shared with your other half -those that look best under a veil of mystery-, even if communication is THE KEY for any romantic relationship to work, some information is better not said or shared -this is where trust comes into play-.

But what happens to those who think they know -and are in fact under the wrong belief they hold the absolute truth-, when they truly don't know half the story? Is it your unspoken duty to ruin the mirage of truth they have built around themselves?, my take on this would be that if it doesn't directly affect you, it'd be best to let them live in that fantasy they enjoy so much, because unless you are frontally asked to reveal the truth to them, you'll come as the bad guy -he who destroyed that marvelous fantasy world it had taken them so long to build-

Second life is no different to life itself, even more so because no matter how real it may seem to some long term users and how intense your feelings for your lover, SL family and so on, it is based on a virtual reality we create ourselves and for ourselves.

So keep it real, and if you don't want to know the truth, don't ask.

The Cup..

In these days of holiday season, partying and quiet reflection about the upcoming year, it is always wise to plan ahead. There are many methods about doing this, you can make a list to follow with things you want to improve or change, you can improvise while focusing on a goal -play it by ear kind of concept., but what I have found to be more effective is a mental picture a friend gave me recently.

Imagine that you have 2 cups, in one you fill all your have, your past, your belongings and responsibilities, everything that it's past goes in there. When you're done filling that cup, it goes to a locked drawer; no one can open it or see what's inside but you.

Then on top of the drawer you have an empty cup, exactly like the one in the drawer, but empty. This is your future, your dreams, your plans, your imagination, everything you expect to happen will come from there and is there, on top of the desk for everyone to see.

Sometimes we pretend to fill the cup which is on top of the desk and meant to be empty with things from the cup in the drawer, thinking this will help, but that is not often the case, that cup like the new year has to be filled with new things, which will make the ones in store, better.

I plan to keep that cup empty and fill the other one with new things which will become my experiences, because, what's past is past and can only do one thing and that is holding you back.
