    The trick is. to paint into the mirror you gaze into with slightly translucent paint so you can still see your true reflection. remaining an outsider looking in. If you allow yourself to become involved in anything too ”real” then the likelyhood is that you will find this an unpleasent experience. Become a character, its not being fake. its being smart. we do it in real life too.. being polite to our bosses when we hate them . pretending that baby is pretty when its really ugly.. I’ve always thought Archi has been in complete control of what he’s doing. Just passing the time. entertaining himself.. having a laugh basically. The paragraph i wrote was just to entertain myself. That is a great poem in that video. It’s all about finding a balance though. I use this mainly as a platform to create somthing. in real time, with instant inspiration from multiple sources. i really dont know what i would replace it with if it wasn’t here. it might be a fake enviroment but my ideas are real. and that’s all that matters to me. Also , you might see alot of fakeness online. but people are also willing to be more honest, alot more honest than their fear of judgment in the ”real” world would allow them to be.


    No I don’t believe that is correct. Translucent paint would cause a blur rather than clarity. Your true reflection shouldn’t be smeared, you shape and form your own reality so the mirror reflects pleasantries rather than the unpleasant experience. “Become a character” why? Why not become your own character?
    I am pretty sure there is a difference between playing office politics, social etiquette Vs playing with peoples emotions, whether textual or not.
    Entertaining yourself by actively misleading people and using puppetry type influences is a rather inhumane view and act. Archi may very well be in complete control (and aren’t we all when online) of this game he plays and for his sake, I hope he is.
    I don’t believe JC is a fake environment as such, which is why I replied to Archi with sincerity. I try to look beyond the personal entertainment to realize, there are real people behind these words, as stated above… but …not all these words reflect the person or their intentions. That is the difference.
    I believe that you misinterpreted my reply. I never once stated that JC was a fake environment or that the people here were fake. I was advising Archi that love is so much more than just a username, it’s more than a few flattering words and an ego boost. That this effort he places in undeserving women, would be appreciated by someone who can return his affection (whether that affection is real or not, whether this person is online or not).

    Between the idea and the reality
    Between the motion and the act
    Falls the Shadow

    Between the conception and the creation
    Between the emotion and the response
    Falls the Shadow

    Between the desire and the spasm
    Between the potency and the existence
    Between the essence and the descent
    Falls the Shadow

    ~T.S. Eliot

    I believe online interactions is “the shadow”.

    Everyone has there own character. everyone also has the ability to adapt to their surroundings and adapt their character. For example. if you are shown a really ugly baby. of course you are not going to say ” your baby is f**king hideous” you say ”awww , isn’t he cute!!”. as you realise that it is for the greater good of everyone if you do not let your true character say what it wants to say.. we do this all the time in many situations. switch and adapt our characters. it’s called being tactful. we are all fake, when we have to be fake. it is of my view that in a chatroom scenario , especially one where there is bullying and racism, stuff that you would normally just walk away from or fight against….. why not become a character that tollerates this sort of thing for a while.. … you are still yourself. but you have adapted to survive. We generally compromise for our own peace or our own gain. . and as for being inhumane, well as i stated Archi was just as devicive as me, heck. he suggested putting it on the boards in the first place, so who is really pulling the strings here?. why would he mention the stuff about marriage or the stuff about his dog if he wasn’t having a good giggle to himself? there were no feelings hurt here. except possibly yours because everything is real nowadays. The reflection is always blurred. if it wasn’t. there would be no peace…. it’s also slightly contradicting to say that you realise there are real people behind these screens but somehow love is less strong or less genuine online to the real world. people in the real world can be just as disengenuous and their real motives can be just as hard to spot. i don’t even believe in anything i’ve just written. i’m only writing it because i’m self serving. egotistical. self important. ..bored…and human.

    A Parody on “A Psalm of Life”

    Life is real, life is earnest,
    And the shell is not its pen –
    “Egg thou art, and egg remainest”
    Was not spoken of the hen.

    Art is long and Time is fleeting,
    Be our bills then sharpened well,
    And not like muffled drums be beating
    On the inside of the shell.

    In the world’s broad field of battle,
    In the great barnyard of life,
    Be not like those lazy cattle!
    Be a rooster in the strife!

    Lives of roosters all remind us,
    We can make our lives sublime,
    And when roasted, leave behind us,
    Hen tracks on the sands of time.

    Hen tracks that perhaps another
    Chicken drooping in the rain,
    Some forlorn and henpecked brother,
    When he sees, shall crow again.
    Oliver Wendell Holmes

    think outside the box/pen/shell .. be a rooster… be a parody of a love struck teen.

    If I am shown what is supposed to be an ugly kid, I say nothing about the appearance of that kid.
    You keep using the word “fake”, I don’t think people can be fake, I think people can avoid truths to avoid hurting other peoples feelings as you put, “in real life” settings, and as you stated, some use the online world as an outlet for their true selves. I wouldn’t go out of my way to call someones child hideous unless I was asked for my honest opinion. But you are missing the point here.
    Why fabricate an entire situation/feeling/persona? For what purpose? For your own entertainment? Why? He definitely gained nothing from me or the girls he plays these games with. So, it’s odd on one hand you were so very adamant in your initial post and now on you take on stage play when honesty is called.

    You know, Bullshiddy Shidkins…. it’s horrible to think that you are under the impression that clarity means misery lol. I don’t know what your situation is that you prefer the blur, I definitely prefer a very clear mirror. Then again, I am faced with pleasantries because even though we face struggles, I know I can face myself with recognition.
    So yeah, quite odd you would purposely blind yourself. Perhaps for some, ignorance is bliss?

    I didn’t like or quite grasp that poem as I don’t think it corresponded well to what you were saying.
    Our intentions and thoughts lead and pave the way to inevitable action. Again…. as you stated, humans adapt, if you are adapting to a certain mindset and character, if you play the rooster or love struck teenager for too long, you eventually become that through and through. If that is what you want to be, great, take on that character at your own expense not at the expense of others. Dwell in your own misery and play on your own stage, don’t interrupt mine.
    I can say that ‘Cherriepie’ the username most definitely does not do justice or define who I am as a human being, although the spirit of who I am is in there somewhere. I think that goes for most people who use social networks.

    i dont prefer the blur. by ”the reflection is always blurred” i mean that no matter who you think you are, or how you have sculpted your excistence. what morrality you have. then you are always going to have to act in a different way to how you would usually react based on many variables. switching character briefly. Clarity in this situation, would kindof be like.. archi. the puppetmaster, looking in at his lovestruck teen persona, his puppet. but knowing it is just a puppet… We can all find clarity in knowing it is just a puppet too. and maybe even find humour in it? instead of being worried about wether archi is going to turn into a rooster, full time…What does he have to gain from this?. ask him… escapism from being creative maybe?…..By saying ” consumed in somthing false” . yes i do believe you are saying it is ”fake”. fake for you maybe. For archi (the version where he is infact in love with you , and not just having a laugh) then it may not be. there is no truth. only perspective. But what i am saying about adapting and being tactful and compromising for our own peace is true for all of us. so i feel i have the right to say it.
    sorry you didn’t understand the poem. the rooster is a creative mind…. work the rest out

    Oh okay. As I didn’t feel any connection to that poem, I will not attempt to work it out.
    There is truth and there is perspective, not one or the other. Whether or not Archi is in character or not, I prefer he uses his creativity elsewhere and not on me lol I dislike being in someones play without reading the scripts beforehand.

    Thanks for the message, take care.

    Danny unless you have anything to say about the reflections of blurry roosters. i suggest you get back to your dayjob of making cups of tea all day for the real men.
