What exactly is real anyway? Am I real? Are you real? Or in more precise terms..are we real to each other? One of the reasons I do love my net I do. Where else can one interact with characters who create themselves. Or do they/we? I would posit the following. That we do in fact create ourselves to a degree, but that we are also in part created in the minds of those who read us here.
But, thinking on it. Is that so very different than non cyber relationships? (speaking here in terms of friendship..not THAT sort of cybering,on which more at another time).
