virtual hedonism

one of the more appealing aspects of virtual/cyber hedonism is the mind fuck more and more crave...there is only you and whatever illuminates from within the caverns of our minds...we become so enraptured by placing ourselves at the epicenter of this crazy world we create...things revolve around us...even though they dont...but we buy into this illusion that, for a while, we are unique and special and that others want us or want to be like us...

it becomes less about seeking out the company of others than it does seeking out the adoration of others...and we revel in this "adoration"...it is addicting at times....and repulsive at times...

we want the pleasure to resonate within our minds...we saturate ourselves in thoughts luxurious and rich...everyone can be shiny and new (why be you when you can be new?)...through these mental images we roll around in, we begin to create a new vision of how we see ourselves through others' eyes...the world becomes suddenly smaller...and there we sit upon our little thrones, ruling this realm with sarcasm, wit, and our ever-evolving persona...

we are immersed in this bling-encrusted place that cannot be touched, smelled, heard, or tasted...it can only be seen through the eyes that look no longer outward at the world and all its people...but rather inward at the one that matters most now...

there is something to be said for actually touching, smelling, body heat of one's lover...

part of the internet we are becoming like: the Spacers Issac Asimov's book Caves of Steel series.. they don't like human contact..etc.. they only interact via computer (ie modern day internet) read the book...
