#615 The only adventure you regret is the one you didn’t take...


Mark Twain once said “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.”
We hear people lament their lost loves, lost health and lost opportunities all the time.  When we’re young, we feel we have all the time in the world to make the right choices, go after our goals and find our true purpose in life. By the time we become old; we will have accomplished some of those aims and missed out on others. That’s normal, because life is finite. And of course, what’s important to us at age 26 is totally different to what matters at 56.
Each life stage brings new challenges, new triumphs and new disappointments. Some of us seem to accumulate a formidable load of regrets by our 30s, while others manage to reach their last years of life and say “I wouldn’t have done anything differently – that was a full life and I’m satisfied.”
We’re all different in our expectations of ourselves and the world we live in. At the end of life, regret is useless – it’s a negative emotion that accomplishes nothing. But when we’re younger, regret has some use: it can be a prod that pushes us to live life as we wish, not as we must.
Some of us regret that we didn’t live life the way we want too, we didn’t travel abroad more often, we wish we didn’t work so hard, etc etc.
We all have some small regrets even at the age of 30 or 40. Perhaps the biggest mistake we all make is saying “I’ll start tomorrow”. The time to start making the right choices for your life isn’t tomorrow – it’s right now, because tomorrow is never guaranteed.

#579 Time to head home...




In Elizabeth Gilbert’s ‘Eat Pray Love’, it speaks about going on a spiritual journey to exotic destinations such as Italy, India and Indonesia after enduring a challenging phase in her life. At the end of the journey, inner peace was found and all the displaced parts of herself were placed into one beautiful whole.  In saying the above, did you know our spiritual journey can also be found within Secondlife?


The human character is complex and cannot be fully understood from one point of reference that is offered by one cultural viewpoint. We have to go beyond what we’re familiar with and expose ourselves to new perspectives, embrace different opinions and unearth the subtle and concealed aspects of people’s personalities. Unfortunately though, within Second life, some people forget there are people behind the screen and can border on harassment of others, stalking, ridiculing, criticising and having expectations of others that is rude and belligerent. It is remembering that people within Second life come from different backgrounds, have different morals, beliefs, behaviors, different lives and different homes. We are not all the same. Each person is unique in their careers, abilities and phases in their lives. Never one of us is the same.


Within Second life, ’some’ unfortunately have a very narrow perspective of others which is a loose term called ethnocentrism, which is defined as “the tendency of other people to judge other cultures by the values and assumptions of their own culture”. Ethnocentrism is a deadly psychic disease, which can infiltrate the minds and hearts of individuals and cause them to behave in cruel and demeaning ways towards their fellow human beings.


Racial bias, discrimination, ethnic cleansing and cultural superiority are all by-products of this harsh philosophy. We see these behaviours in our media often. All of these behaviours can lead to serious world problems, such as corruption, crime and even war. There are countless times in history when we have seen this play out, like the reign of Hitler in Germany, the Apartheid era in South Africa, and the American Civil Rights Movement in the USA.


Second life gives us options to be who we want to be, and some of us are the same in world as we are outside of Second life. There are others that unfortunately show a different side. We need to remember to open ourselves up to other cultures, be not biased, ignorant or prejudiced. These internal blocks should be removed if we would like to be part of the solution for breeding cultural understanding. As Gandhi famously said, “We must be the change we wish to see in the world.”

#408 I got no air in my lungs..with GizzA Creations, Hideki, Tableau Vivant, and Bauhaus Movement


You used to touch, I used to feel..
The shivers down my neck when you kissed me
Were they real?

You took the hope and left me empty
And then you cry "please, please"
But you and I bleed, bleed

Nothing but a heartbeat, Nothing but a heartbeat
I've got no air in my lungs
Got no bones in my body
There's nothing left inside of me
