Diario di tahoebrun, 15 giu 18

Happy Friday everyone - what an amazing day. beautiful weather - bike ride into work today (motorcycle - not bicycle - I am not that motivated) and a great Americano uploading as I type. I had a great night in the gym last night. I up'd my cardio and am breaking through a lifting plateau so I am really happy with where I am at physically (pancreas - not you) given where I was at a few months ago.
This morning on the ride into work I was pondering this virtual world that we are living in now on the ride in. Really living in parallel with this actual world where real things happen and where we really interact with people. I wonder if we are losing the ability to discern the difference between the two. In a virtual world I can do and say whatever I want because there are no actual consequences - other than maybe virtual ones. I don't have to care how you react because I can't see you, or your body language. I can't hear the inflection in your voice to know that what I have done or not done has had an impact on the recipient. In essence I can behave poorly because I am only responsible for me - right; and if you don't like it then that is you. This is not necessarily true.

In the virtual world we can scroll past or just log off - and trust me, I do that often. I don't need to weigh in on every comment, observation, blog, inkling idea or "feeling" that passes by (even though I have an opinion on everything :-). Even when I feel like I have to set the record straight - post the truth - from my perspective. My perspective is often skewed - I don't know everything about everything. Not even a little bit.

I am really appreciative for all the online friends that I have and their contribution in my life. I value you all. I do have a responsibility to interact with all of the people I come in contact with just as if we were sitting across from each other. I hope that I can all just treat each other with kindness and when I can't or won't meet that measure then I hope I can simply do no harm and remain silent. Pretty tall tasking for me on some days it seems.

Sometimes things that are said don't feel good to me from my perspective - that just means I need to look at it and decide if it something that I need to take action on; or not. It does not give me carte blanch to lash out, retaliate or otherwise damage another person. I don't need to win every conversation in choose to participate in. I just need to the opportunity to learn from it. I am grateful that I get to learn from you all. I hope that some day our paths might cross and we can chat in person. Until that day - I will continue to enjoy and learn from your posts and comments while we walk this cyber road together. I wish you all the best on your individual journeys. Namaste -

Have you read Ready Player One? NOT the movie. The book goes into reality vs. virtual reality quite a bit. It's really a great read! I had to ask my girls a couple of times about their "virtual" friends because I felt like they were putting too much time and energy into non-full relationships. I have some myself but I would never count on them like I do my own personal friends and family.

This is a great post. It is wonderful that this unpredictable virtual reality we exist in periodically inspires us to reach out to each other with words of encouragement and kindness. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a great Friday.

Thanks Tahoe. You've voiced what so many would like to say, quite eloquently. I knew you meant motorcycle too...Moto heads just know, lol! Hope you have a fantastic weekend!

It’s sad that it’s all too true, the detachment we are becoming so accustomed to. Some ppl are closer to ppl they have never even met and they are ok with it! With my very young friends (most of them are in their early 20s), they don’t know how to interact without the aid of their phone and they all seem to have some level of social anxiety when faced with actual socializing. They come to me when they are having issues with someone and my advice is almost alway just “talk about it, in person, f2f!!” Lol *sighs*

I like that I can relate to people who are working on the same things that I am, healthwise which is so important. I think that there is a lot of benefit from the virtual world, but then it enhances my "real" life with people from far and wide.
