| My second day here, this place makes me think a lot about people, this place makes me love people, I haven’t decided if it’s Israeli people that I love or just people in general. I’m trying to go deeper onto the cause of the addictive nature of places like this. I think I have only one conclusion – this virtual world is the only place that we see people the way they see themselves, it is one of the only places where I can really get someone to look me in the eyes, through their profile picture that is… we look at the camera the same way we look at the mirror, and not in the way we look at each-other in person. Funny that computer communication is considered cold and distant, I see you people in the street, I shout at you and get shouts when we drive, I stuck out my elbow gently to be the first to pay for his milk in the store, and mostly in these cases I don’t really get to know you or look at you same as I do here, and if I would, I’d probably find a much greater beauty than I really find here.Buddhists say that the closer you get to enlightenment the more you’ll find it hard to define the separation between things, separation between people, or between us and nature, us and sounds, me and you and harmony an’all that… This spiritual blablah’s just come to emphasize the paradox, or just the unpredictability that true change and the realization of our “oneness” will come about greatly through a virtual world. Got to think about it after seeing Olmert saying something like “kus omo this fucker”, I never liked Olmert, but after hearing him speak like this I really realized the “Oneness”, he’s just dressed better than me (some will disagree here too), so I got over myself after hearing it and started to like this fucker, but kus omo anyway, in the separated reality I really wish he would go to sleep for a year or two, but I’m drifting off topic. More to come on the next episode of “the internet and the awakening of human kind”
