I was curious about your post, so I took a look at it.
Some things in it are a little confusing, and even contradictory. So I
have some questions.
In your first line you begin with "I thought". Why did you say that,
when the rest of your post says that you didn't?
You ask "how many times". So I'll answer it: Not once.
The passing of anyone we care about, can be a very troubling time for
us. I'm not surprised that you don't accept this, because you have to
be able to care, before you can understand it.
This even applies to fictional characters. As examples of this, I can
site what happened when Sherlock Holmes, and JR's brother were killed
off. There was a big outcry of grieving people who demanded they're
resurrection. And so it was done. There are many more examples of this.
People do get attached to people who aren't real, just as they do to
real people. And it hurts just as much when they pass. So even if you
don't think that someone was real, the grief that people feel when they
are gone should be respected, because the FEELING is real. I would feel
bad if YOU died, even though you are just words on a screen to me, and
not a real person, or even likable.
Come on, you know that children get heartbroken when a favorite toy is
lost. We don't grow out of this as adults. We just hide the feelings
better. Well, some of us do. So how much more will we feel it when a
playful PERSON is gone?
You have a little trouble with your sequence of events in sworp. It's
not surprising, as you were completely confused the first two times
that issue was developing. The third time, that you are mentioning
here, was just some noise in the group. I should know, I was part of
that noise. :-)
What "pulled" him through (what a visual thing this is), was the
support of caring people who felt as he did. In situations like this,
true sharing from the heart, promotes healing. And so it went.
You could have been an effective part of this, if you had wanted to.
You still can. You don't have to be a mean person all your life. It's
about time you experienced some joy, and shared it with all. After all,
this is the season for it! :-)
All of us are just words on our screens, inhabiting this virtual
anarchistic playground of Usenet. The nature of this environment makes
it a CHILDREN'S playground, and an unsupervised one at that. So we get
to experience all that this kind of situation gives to us. The good,
the bad, and the buggy. Well, we're using computers, aren't we? :-)
Most people take this place way too seriously, and sometimes let what
happens here make them angry. And then they get foolish. This is a
PLAYGROUND! It can't be anything else, no matter how much we want it to
be. It's ironic that the adults here who don't realize this, tend to
act more like children, in a negative way, than the real children here
do. When we understand and accept what we have here, we'll all be much
happier, even while we're poking at each other.
You play with us. We play with you. We play with each other. It just
CAN'T be serious. It's PLAY. That's all it is. That's all it CAN be.
Get it?
So lets try to play nicely. Or maybe just try to try, A little.
Possibly. Somewhat.
Oh, I almost forgot to answer your very first question. The one in your
subject line. So here it is:
YES.
Meph is still with us. And it's good for HIM and US that he is.
Have a nice day :-)
Y Not
