Some Things Don't Change (by Keshi)

When we are born we get a name to carry for the rest of our lives...and that will be our ID through our entire life. In that life, we meet many people, we form bonds, some break, some last longer, some people cheat, some stay true to themselves, some get hurt, some hurt others, some lie, some always speak the truth, some fall in love, some remain friends, some die young, some live longer, some care, some don't etc etc. That's the kind of life we all live...cos we are humanbeings and we can never run away from being human. So on the net too we do the same..create an ID and live our net lives. Friendships, infidelity, love, lust, mockery, jealousy, affection, lies, beauty, breakups etc etc they all exist on the net and outside the net too, don't they?

If we board a plane, do we become a different animal? When we are on the phone, are we any different from being off the phone? So when we are behind an ID and on the net, are we any different from who we really are? Do we stop being humans? Does our mind stop? Do the emotions take a different turn? Does the heart stop being the heart that it was before you sat in front of that PC? I don't think so. We are humans wherever we may be, whatever means we may be using to make new friends. Ofcourse people can put on an act on the net, but those who do that would be the same when they are not on the net as well...you know, putting on an act wherever they are.

My point is net or not, people don't change. You are YOU wherever you may be. And life is pretty much the same both on the net and outside. There will always be all kinds of people and relationships everywhere. Net or not, we remain who we are.

Having said that I have to say that the net has introduced me to some beautiful souls, who are not afraid to reveal their innermost emotions and share their joy and sorrow, and be there for each other. It's a beautiful place...a world away from this world...cos we are all connected on a mental level. And thats the true beauty of Life's solid relationships. You'd realise that even outside the net, if you're connected to someone on a mental level, nothing else matters. So that means, like I said before, Life is the same anywhere and it depends alot on the individual that you are...not on the medium you use to make friends. You are YOU wherever you are.
