Scion City is part of Second Life, a 3D virtual world entirely built and owned by its residents. You'll discover people, entertainment, and opportunity. Learn more about Second Life…
I come to second life for a release from the stress and pressures of real life. I have met a few very good people and I have met way too many confused individuals who can’t seem to distinguish reality fro VIRTUAL reality. I was given free land in Scion City…..why i don’t know. I stayed for more then a year and learned to enjoy the poorly build sim. there is something about its lack of content that i found comforting , even though it is just an advertisement. Due to small minded, confused, and greedy people- I was forced to quit the group. Constant harassment and an idiotic virtual power struggle ensued. I have no idea why i played along as long as i did. I accomplished much for Millions of Us during my time there. I recruited most of the residents now in the group. I protected the sims from griefers and abusers. I never asked to be paid…i did what i did out of principal, it was my home in SL. I worked hard to create traffic. (numbers went WAY up in the last few days even) I have recruited a regular stream of visitors who like to play there and i hope they continue to have fun there. But SL is not business for me. its play. drama and the condescending attitudes of the people who made the place (not run it, I was doing that on a daily basis) and their refusal to give direction or fairly address issues that came up in a timely manner have forced me to quit, i dont want the headaches ,,,i will reiterate……i just want to have some fun. So for everyone who lives in Second Life because their real lives suck, should get therapy.lol. In the end I refused to put their business before my personal beliefs and principals….I never compromised my philosophy through all the bullshit that went on their….and i am stronger for it. Free land? who needs it? SL is HUGE and I look forward to exploring all the new people and places that have popped up while I’ve had my head up my ass in Scion City. I promoted their projects, while they stifled mine. So now their target demographic now think they “rule” the virtual streets. How sad for small minds, how sad.
It is said that if you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything….apparently i am one of a very small number of people who just refuses to put up with certain kinds of things. a quitter? or am i merely retaining my honor and respect for myself? you decide. SL is a huge environment, but apparently greed drives most people to the point that they forget the truly important things in life…….market days in Sarlat….camping in the grand canyon….the smile of my child when she wakes up in the morning and says “daddy want some O’s please” REAL THINGS.
anger, hatred, greed, pettiness, all of the worst parts of humanity will always follow us every where we go, the near infinite capacity for human beings to HATE is matched only by the near infinite capacatiy for LOVE……….which are you? Do you take the easy way out? or constantly struggle and fight for LOVE in your life?
I care not for anyones judgement, i wake up with myself every morning and judge myself by my actions….I am A good person and no one can take that away from me ever.
