The Avatars in Second Life represent my 2 different Personalities forced upon me by society and their ways. I am split between societies views of what is “right and wrong” and what my personal beliefs say is “right and wrong”.

The first, the Fox, is a showing of my more trusting and kinder side. Showing my intelligence, creativity, and gullibility. I sometimes fall into the temptations of what is “popular” or “normal”, but truly is immoral. Before I know it the temptation is using me, destroying my sanity and personality. After I return to my original moral status, I find the temptations easier to resist. Until a stronger one comes and I repeat the cycle again, and again, and again, and again.

My intelligence is founded on my ability to think differently than others which allows me to excel academically. Until, they try to put me with “geniuses”. These “geniuses” or “gifted” students are only that way because; they are masters of thinking in the way that everyone wants them to do. An individual thinker has no chance in such an environment because of the fact that they think on their own. This later gets them labeled as “special” or “remedial” because they think on their own instead of following the mold of society.

My Second Form, the Wolf, represents the role cast upon me by society. It has made me a loner, an outcast, all because I don’t follow its ways. I have been labeled as queer, strange, an oddity, something that doesn’t belong. I have been pushed through their system, swept under the rug, hidden from the view of people who can help me. They try to make reasons for my “abnormality”, “You have a mental disorder, take these pills it will help balance you out.” Those “cures” for my “disorder” only caused more problems and lead to more “treatments”. After they figured out that I did not have a disorder they just tried to hide me from records.

People in general don’t help with this solitary confinement of my mind either. They had no respect because society told them that I was mentally handicapped, or retarded to put it bluntly. When they finally found out how intelligent I truly was, I was ridiculed for not following their ways. Labeled as a homosexual because, I believe that Pornography is immoral and not fit for viewing. Also, that I refuse to curse or use the Lord’s name in vain.

But if you really think about it, what does it take for something to be truly normal? A dictionary says conforming to the usual standard or custom. That shows perspective normality, but True Normality is a paradox. For something to be truly, or universally, normal it must be the same through out the entire universe. And you will find that not one thing is like that. If you think that I’m wrong IM me with your theory and I will show you that it is not. This makes everything weird causing this to be normal. Normal can’t be weird and normal at the same time, they are exact opposites. This cause True Normality to become a paradox, because of this everything inside of this paradox is decided by the majority on what is “normal” and all who do other wise are queer and are banished from “normal” society.

Every Wolf has its pack, as do I have my few friends. Some have conformed to the ways of society, some have started to, and some try to change society. Even inside of this virtual world there are stereotypes left by society. I have been called a pervert, told that being a furry is nothing but a fetish. I have fought to break this stereotype but, it is one that holds much ground as I have learned. Many perverted things are sold in furry servers things that do not need to exist but, only to make us fit the stereotype of society. I say “Rise Up! Break the mold that society has formed! It is time for a revolution! The revolution of the individual! People can be accepted with having to fit in!”

On a final note always remember, “It is better to be hated for who you are, Than loved for who you are not” – Unknown.
