This is an exciting topic. Personal taste is often - so to speak - the crown of human judgment. But it's less personal than many people think. It is shaped by society, environment and upbringing. It is within these conditions that we define beauty and ugliness. The acute problem: both designations are associated with pleasure and disgust. Disgust and possessiveness for the sake of pleasure leads to, in the broadest sense, war, murder, manslaughter. The spiritual root is desire, that is, liking and disliking. Desire is responsible for suffering. Desire is like a piece of meat. Social and personal likes and dislikes circle it and stick to it like flies. You can wave them away (Reason) or or install a fly screen around them (Puritanism, Christianism) - but the flesh and temptation remain. To get away from this urge, the only way is very radical. So far is known: That is Buddhism. What we could do, however, on a less radical level, is to submit to the present state and thus accept the beautiful as well as the ugly, and especially one's own personal view - but to try to separate it from lust and disgust, at least in the sense of self-knowledge. Hence we might do less harm to us and others. A real artist does this consciously (most of the time) or unconsciously (at least), because the appearance, the illusionary character, their nevertheless undeniable existence and their effects are his subject. (I recommend the works of Auguste Rodin, a French sculptor, 1840-1917). For me it is still true: to have found the right one means that she remains the right one. This refers to the appearance as well as to the inner being and that all in relation to my taste. * And I think many others see it the same way. That we can manipulate this in SL, does that make us artists? It could be... * There is this ironic cliché as a joke, where the man, after the woman married him, mutated from Adonis to beer-drinking fatso, lying on the couch, unshaven, smelling of sweat. Well, where are the inner values now? All right, if they are still there?

That made my day! ROFL. ... You are up to date in terms of understanding what the nearfuture brings

Not true. That matters. Especially in SL. by the way: I did not say "the one"... But once found - then it's the one, thats true. And i did. edit: This is all too often an ideal of people who would like to be holy saints or are moralists- exactly when they emphasize: "The outside means nothing". Is it too demanding or too complicate to admire the beauty of a body equal to the beauty of a soul? Or is that too daring? Too dirty? Too immoral to choose that and accept the absence of one of the two as an exclusion criterion? Can someone be so desperate or is that indifference or lack of good taste? ... Its all about fun and in fun nothhing is mandatory.

Case closed

My profile is a WIP and i belive in some way so is everyones...Encircles, so to speak, the core of the being with the many facets that arise through mood in general as well as through reflections of the second life; and curiosity for change. Sometimes its just a stub, sometimes a current endpoint, sometimes it is motivated by total disinterest in what others think. I would assume: The more that is the case, the more alive is one in SL. Even reflecting about a profile but not finding words is interesting and can be insightfull - for everybody, for one self. When I compare profiles with each other and, of course, with my current own, I would conlude: Profiles don't say anything, profiles say everything, profiles say something. Clichés alternate with revelations. Behind an empty profile can be an interesting person or the other way round. Actually its always also like a diary, but just one page; as in SL it only shows one point in time. A profile can be a self-reflection as well as showing off. However its public and that is part of the motivation. I like to feel that profiles are a bit like novels in where the author is the actor. Some people are write very interesting "stories". All in all it enriches Second life and sometimes its like being in a library and reading biographies, the news, shortstories, policial and social views, good jokes, some wise insights... and that all has been shaped by the life as an avatar in SL. Its a small part of the avatars life, but imo one of the coolest inventions and options of SL.

Greetings. My name is Hyokr. I'm looking for a girlfriend - human shape, casual look, slim, "girl next door", long hair.... - To hang out, dance, talk, travel, explore... I love long conversations. Good english or german would be necessary. And that's the catch: my online hours are between 10am and 10pm SLT.
