Now, THAT'S a big one...And I like it! He he...
Am I hiding? Are we hiding ourselves? YES. But Why?
Internet :
First, I'd say : Take a few minutes or seconds, and look around MT. Look at the user's names : NO ONE ever use
his REAL name to identify WHO?
Himself! Of course! who is, actually, A REAL PERSON! How strange! Is it that we're ashamed of what we are? Scared
to know that someone we actually know will know something we don't want him to know about the TRUE us? (yes, many
knows lol) When asked to give our infos, we have multiple e-mails accounts, we give fake IDs, names, even country lol We
got all these virtual identities...
Well, well, well! How interesting! Isn't it? :D
This is just one example. But how many times do we write, speak, post or chat about ourselves and being actually
creating a second personality? We are almost schizophrenic beings! BUt don,t be afraid, you,re not alone, we
aren't...
Daily life :
Now for the Real-Life part (yes there is one, I heard it exists outside my computer room ... somewhere... :o)
Like the others said it, it's in the Human Nature to protect ourselves (we
could be talking till our death about that ''nature'' of ours, so I won't be explaining that!
For now... ;) And we create these second personalities, shields, or call it the way you want, we hide in SO MANY ways
it's unbelievable.
But, whatever the situation we always hide a little, a lot, but always... Someone actually NOT hiding himself, is lying
to himself. Take a loving couple, for example. They can't live a steady relationship if they aren't honest
about who they really are... But believe it or not, they still have a shield, mask etc..
BUT WHY? WHY?
Mainly because of that Human Nature... It's all about that.
I'M pretty sure we would all agree that we can't FULLY trust or depend on ANYONE. Depend on a person and one
day, you WILL be deceived. Maybe a small deception, maybe a BIG one, but you will be. Even if you trust the best man
(including womens) on earth, you will still be deceived be him/her. (doesn't mean you CAN'T trust anyone, if
get the idea... otherwise, it's impossible to live with someone we love/care about.)
I think we create a second US to actually prevent things to hurt our REAL self. And it works. I've never been sad,
angry or harmed in any ways because someone/something harmed my second ME. It's our carapaces! Our shields, masks,
second IDs [etc] ! Don't be afraid of that instinct, this feeling of hiding yourself, your life depends on
it.
Don't HIDE behind that, LIVE WITH it! It's also all about being balanced! Some people are so-called
non-social, but they are so afraid or have been deceived once and they are soooo scared to show their TRUE self they
COMPLETELY hide behind this second skin, mask.
I have good friends, I trust many people, but I always keep myself SAFE. Safe mentally, SAFE physically. Yes, it's
not only mental: Take a hot girl at a party and she decides to trust this nice, good-looking guy offering this...
drink... poisoned. It happens all the time! EH! got it? ;)
That's all I had in mind, for now! Hope you all liked it and have more to share with all of us!
And YES, rpgmaker2 ain't my REAL name :P
See ya all! (Though I post rarely, I'm still around LOL)
Ciao!
