Why does the org have such a strong emotional impact on most of us? I mean it's just a website right? So why do we hold grudges against eachother,stay mad at each other for hours after we log off, or on the up side, care about and love eachother so deeply.

It may sound strange and you all can laugh if you want to,but when my alarm clock goes off in the morning the first thing I do is pray, and in my prayers orgers names are usually mentioned. " God, Help Chico feel better today." "God bless Byron for helping me out" "God help Althom through his surgery" etc.

Why? Why do you people affect me so? Am I unstable or do you guys take the org with you when you log off too?

Sure, sometimes.

You're interacting with human beings. The depths of that interaction may vary, but that's the fact.

But wouldn't you say that the org is a cold electronic form of communication? Why should I care about some of you fuckers more than I care about people I know in the flesh?

it scares me sometimes how connected I feel to some of the people here...

when I'm busy and can't make it on for days on end I find myself wondering what everone's up to...

endorphin74 said:

EXACTLY! and that shit scares me sometimes

Sweeny79 said:

The mode of communication is irrelevant. Sure it's cold. We are often cold to people we don't know at first. Language can be cold.

But we warm to people.

How did you get so smart?

Many here... reside in my thoughts and ... continuously/daily.

What a wonderful question and thought to ponder.

The appreciation I have is constant and hopes to take to another level... always exists, meaning... meeting/knowing the soul's flesh. *beautiful smile*

endorphin74 said:

same here...it especially goes for those who i've met in person. sometimes i'll be thinkin how folks are doin and hopin everybody's o-tay.

this may be a website first and foremost, but behind the screennames, avatars n'such there's people.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

exactly...but some ppl take what is said on here a bit to seriously...that's a bit too wacky for me. When ppl leave the site because it's "Getting to them"...it's time to turn the computer off...and get a fucking hobby!!!

I think what fascinates me most is that my computer comes alive. It's like having a computer with a brain or an intellect. (ok maybe I'm going to far) Sometimes I forget that there are actually people sitting on the other side of the screen peering into the glowing light, reading my words and the words of others. I guess the org being interactive is the great appeal and some personalities are able to reach beyond the screen and touch you inside.

Sweeny79 said:

You mean I'm right?

magnificentsynthesizer667 said:

that's how I feel too. Nicely said.

2the9s said:

Yes my sexy professor , you is

Vashti said:

when I find myself angry after orging, I know I need a break...


also, as Handclaps said, once you meet an orger (or talk on the phone) it takes things to a whole new level...

endorphin74 said:

You can say that again!

But I think I'm a start calling more of ya'll. In fact anyone who wants to talk to me, orgnote me. My cell ain't working right now,I'll chat your ear off tomorrow!

Vashti said:

Why is that wrong? Is anger any less real an emotion than affection?

Sweeny79 said:

You're one of those naughty catholic girls...right.

althom said:

Well yeah, but that's besides the point

2the9s said:

Thank you that's what I was thinking. Where there is love there is also hate.

Sweeny79 said:

I have prayed for you as well Sweeny. Just know that you are loved!!!

I'm very connected with some folks here. Just as connected to my very best friends

Freespirit said:

I like you

Chico319 said:

Thank you I Love you too.

I really don't feel that at all. There are a few people I'm emotionally connected to but I don't really give a shit about most of you ... I mean that in the nicest possible way of course.

To explain: I care about all of you as you're my fellow human beings and we have more in common than most. But you don't affect my moods and I don't have a bad or good day based on who I've typed to here. There are a few people here I do care about greatly but even then there is very little real impact on my life, unless we've met, spoken or written to one another.

I understand...lol (I do... )

Vashti said:

... I have to admit I feel the same as you on that Vashti
