"Second Life is a lot of things, good and bad. For me, Second Life is all about entertainment and some social activity - as it seems to be designed for. The dark side of Second Life is when it becomes a force for dragging yourself down. Whenever I feel Second Life is being more of a negative than a positive to myself, I just remember what I am here for, having a good time.
I see and talk to a lot of people who get dragged down into the abyss of some sort of negative drama. It usually comes up subtly, creeping up slowly, engulfing their thinking and consuming their Second Life and eventually their Real Life. This is a “bad thing” - something to be avoided. Maybe it is impossible to avoid if you have anything beyond a casual relationship with anyone in Second Life. I would like to think it does not happen to me, but of course it does now and then.
I have met a lot of really interesting and neat people in Second Life. To be honest, there’s no one I have found I dislike. I feel worse that there is not enough of “me” to go around to pay attention to all of the friends I have met. I have been in Second Life now for close to a year, and upon reflection of that last year, I find that from a close relationship side it has not been all that positive for myself. Maybe that’s a good thing, maybe not......"
