“Commentators frequently blame MMORPGs for an increasing sense of isolation modern life. But virtual worlds are less a cause of that isolation than a response to it. Virtual worlds give back what has been scooped out of modern life. The virtual world is in important ways more authentically human than the real world. It gives us back community, a feeling of competence, and a sense of being an important person whom people depend on.” PeopleWorldWayGivingHumansPersonsHas BeensImportantRealFeelingsCausesCommunityModernDependsBlameResponseIsolationReal WorldGiving BackCompetenceModern LifeCommentatorsVirtual RealityImportant PersonVirtual World Author:Jonathan Gottschall

It is we who lack all feeling for our own identity, all sense of honour.” PeopleShouldFeelingsLawIdentityBlameJewHonour Author:Richard Wagner
“My enduring feeling about René Lévesque is that if he had chosen to hang me, even as he tightened the rope round my neck, he would have complained about how humiliating it was for him to spring the trapdoor. And then, once I was swinging in the wind, he would blame my ghost for having obliged him to murder, thereby imposing a guilt trip on a sweet, self-effacing, downtrodden Francophone.” IfsSelfFeelingsSweetWindSpringMurderBlameGuiltEndureRoundsGhostChosenNecksRopeObligedImposingHumiliatingDowntroddenGuilt Trip Author:Mordecai Richler
“One of the reasons I love prayer is that it is an antidote to guilt and blame. If we are unhappy with the way we have acted or been treated, instead of stewing in self-recrimination on the one hand, or harboring ill will toward someone else on the other, prayer gives us a way out of the circle of guilt and blame. We bring our painful feelings into the open and say, "I have done wrong," or "I have been wronged." And then we ask for a vaster view--one that contains within it all the forgiveness we need in order to move forward.” IfsWayNeedsGivingHas BeensSelfReasonDoneFeelingsHandsMovingOrderAsksPrayerViewsBlameGuiltIllPainfulCirclesUnhappyTreatedMoving ForwardAntidoteWrongedIll WillLove PrayerPainful Feelings Author:Elizabeth Lesser
