Everyone comes to Secondlife and Facebook for their own personal reasons. Too often we judge and criticise without truly knowing everything about a person. There will always be someone who won't like you, there will be mutual friends who dislike each other but care about you. There will be friends who don't like the person you are dating, there will be people who are jealous and people who have egos. Secondlife is made up of people from all over the world and it will be impossible to please everyone you meet. We each are raised with different beliefs and ideas. Who are we to say what is right and what is wrong?
Most times you will post on Facebook and not everyone will agree with your thoughts and ideas. Some will find ways to discredit your feelings and question your motives. We should be allowed to post what we like on our own Facebook but unfortunately instead of people removing or blocking what they don't like or approve of, they prefer to report and harass.
Just like in Secondlife, we have griefers and we have people who live to hurt others. It is sadly becoming a way of life and I truly do not understand what people gain from trying to hurt others.

When I started in SL 5 years ago, being hit by a greifer was your biggest concern. Then came the risk of someone hijacking your account and stealing lindens. Now it is all about protecting your heart, who you can and can't trust. Finding people who are not going to screw you over or screw your partner....O.o
I love my SL and I love the people on my SL Facebook. No matter what time of the day it is I know if I need to reach out someone will be there. What I don't like is feeling like I am a fence sitter.
I will never choose between two friends who no longer like one another. I will never take a side and I will not say anything bad against anyone who has not hurt me. I will always try to see both sides in a situation and not judge unless I am affected. What I do not like is someone attempting to make me feel like I should.
I will respect someone more if they do not try making me take sides.
I will eventually see the truth for myself and if need be they can say "I told you so".

Like most people on Secondlife I have experienced hurt and betrayal. I doubt there are many who haven't. How we handle it shows our strength. The sad part is seeing kind loving people shut down and put up walls because too often they have let people in only to be hurt.
I don't laugh much at all in my real life. I used to a lot in my SL.
These past 6 months have taken a toll on me and have affected my depression alot. I have lost a lot of people I loved and cared about, people I trusted and adored. I still cry because I recognize a loss, but try to remember I still have much for which to be thankful.
It will take a lot for me to trust again and my circle is small.
When people look at me I want them to think I am happy and coping but like so many others, we wear masks that hide our pain.
Do not sit behind your computer screen and judge me or anyone for that fact. If people would stop trying to hurt others, stopped being jealous and wanting what others have instead of what is in front of them; If people gave kind words instead of angry; If people were more honest and caring with their words....Just imagine how wonderful life would be.
Its pretty easy you know....Don't treat anyone any less than you want to be treated. Do not lie, do not cheat, do not gossip and don't back stab.
Let's smile more, laugh louder and love tenderly.
Hugs Ally
