discovering one's alter ego through postingA Story by fleamailman
"...well I suppose there are fundamental differences between this
forumland here and that dailylife there, thus different considerations
must apply to each in turn..." ventured the goblin before continuing
"...for example, one can't really know who the others here are, nor what
they are truly thinking neither, why, because nothing here is actually
here, no it's all just a portrayal in words, and yet "whom one is to
oneself " does become clearer through self observation and at one's
persistence in posting too, in that in posting on one can't hide form oneself
forever, no it just becomes apparent who one is by what one posts...", just that most people didn't
bother to notice themselves, instead they often just posted for the sake
of those others around them, or for the forum's sake then, until
somewhere down the line they realized a simple truth that neither the
others nor forum itself were actually real, so the goblin spelled it out now
saying "...oddly one's alter-ego is in fact one's true self here,
yet that anonymity evaporates the moment someone in one's dailylife knows who
one is upon forumland whereupon the considerations then become those of
one's dailylife's again, causing one to compromise under those
observations and one alter ego hides, being the main reason why I prefer to remain ever anonymous I guess, just I want to know who I am by what I post, why, because I already
know full well that mask I wear in my dailylife, ah but my alter ego eludes me still..."
