Where is Humanity going?

Sometimes you do wonder, what has happened to humanity, at least in some areas....

When you look at the world news.. well they have gone mad already..

But somehow I think there is still hope for humankind.. at least when they still can laugh and joke about some things and especially about themselves..

Well I thought of myself as a well educated girl.. but sometimes you really learn new things.

Mh... what was i about to write?.. ah yes got the Ariadne straw back :-), when I entered Second Live (SL) perhaps 4 months ago after reading about it in a german magazine, I couldn`t have thought it any way possible what would I get out of it.
Well I do my things normally a little organized.. so before I started, I read a lot about SL on the Linden Labs homepage. And there were some really funny things people wrote about their experiences with SL. Some really got me laughing really loud - had I known what I do now, well I wouldn't have laughed for sure.
So I started in SL or perhaps it would be more appropriate to say SL came over me. I had a bag full of ideas what I wanted to do there. Like visiting nice places with really good graphics, like chatting with some people, like finding enchanting adventures...
Oh perhaps I should add it, I am a german native, my first language is german, but I think I am fluent in english too, and lucky me for that. I met some Germans in SL first - the "you stick to your kind"-approach - well I found out really fast, that most Germans I met, were of the type "loud and stupid", to put it nicely.
Oh yes, there were moments when I really was ashamed to see such stupid fellows in SL, well that brings me back to the Ariadne straw, is there hope for humanity?
As far as I can see it now after four month´s of SL:

The answer is yes, there is even more than hope...
(however the answer to that question needs some further postings I am afraid.)

I met some really nice persons in the world of the Linden Lab Servers, sometimes the encounters where so intensive, you really had the idea, I know this person, she or he is standing next to me....
This Blog is even a product of SL, too. I never read a blog before, and then you read just one, out of interest.. and well here I am.

to be continued....
