A few things I have pondered, about our cyber-space... Like, when did “a/s/l?” become a greeting? And the reason pics are given, (ones that don’t include the face)... Is because there’s not one chance in hell, of meeting! Someday I’d love to meet, whoever named it “Chat”... Isn’t that what ladies do at tea? No wonder that humanity is in the place it’s at... The only place we touch, is: on the screen... Please don’t get me wrong... I’m fond of these machines... They’ve proved to be some very useful tools... By man’s own hand, without a thought...he brought them into being... Not knowing they’d end up, in hands of fools... And fools we often are... As hunters on the net... Of every vice and greed that’s known to man... We keep ourselves anonymous, and take what we can get... Then give back, just as little as we can... I know that there are cases, of cyber love that’s real... But that’s a rare exception, at it’s best... More is the case of “click--->you’re gone”... Who cares how someone feels... It puts the human spirit to the test... It’s only my opinion,,, I’ve pondered at some length... And felt this subject worthy of debate... I had the urge to write, about our finest human strength... Though cyber’s fine... Real life’s devine... When two communicate!!!!!! The road goes on forever, and the stories never end... |

sunny- ah yes..you speak the truth, my friend.  it's really pretty sad and even scary when you think about how detached some of those relationships can really be. i must say, though, that i have made some wonderful friends online as well... and many of them right here at this site. hmmmmmm...i may just have to repost one of my oldies in response to this one..LOL don't be surprised if you see me sneak in with something along the same wavelength as this one.. hugs to you, ~vicky "...until you have read the verse on his |

...Vicky... Hey, yes.......the more said on this subject the better......go for it!! And I do agree that not all cyber relationships are shallow, it's just that sometimes we get taken in, and that's sad. Best advice is to make friends, but mix in some reality. Thanks!! The road goes on forever, and the stories never end... |

To reply to this in here is to betray the trust of poetry divine and cyber-techie lust But here goes anyway for to communicate we need at least two to somehow replicate feelings that are there at any given time for emptiness is dark in a cyber-poets rhyme killed my Buddha, killed my Christ |

You said it sis, so many false scenarios are played out online. But also, as has been said, I have met most of my best friends here, so every day I am grateful for the communication ability, and the supportive friends of passions. Now about those chat place. Tapping foor in time to Serenity's... S |

Hi Sunny, Nothing can replace human touch, watching the eyes come to life in a smile, a "real" hug. Even so, there are some wonderful and honest people online, as we all know. I enjoyed this. (((hugs))) Michael Michael Auguste~ |

So much could be said about this, I believe time proves a person to a certain degree, that and their actions. Thanks for posting this. |
