Eons ago, before the net, how did we meet people?
You where compelled to know your nabour, you socialized with your fellow employees and you knew all the moms at your kids school...not being the type that wants to know my nabours (they tend to be nosey) and having only one fellow employee who is a single Muslim male (and very religious, which I am not) my options for a friendship ring decreases quiet a bit!
My husband and I are not social butterflies, as the only way to meet people of our age in SA is going to clubs or church. Like I said I'm not a religious person so church is out and we can't stand the noise in clubs. So we fell into a nice comfortable life with enough friend to count on one hand. It really never bothered us, we had all we needed in each other, friendship, companionship and love.
Then one day I stumbled upon a Internet game... and got hooked in about 10 seconds... I have in the last month and a half met people from all over the world! People that I would never, never, never have met if it wasn't for the net. Here, in a place so unexpected I have met friends, people who I can talk to without judgement. People who live separate life's to mine, who can't overstay there welcome, who can laugh at themselves and at life.
How could I explain the joy of knowing that even if life goes horrid for me, I can just hop on the net and go and talk to people about totally unrelated things to get my mind off it.
I love the net!
