1.Well, what is this "life I/you/others should get"?
2.What does it involve?
3.What does it exclude?
4.What is your personal definition of a "life to get"?
5.Why is a "life" (spending time on the internet) not a "life" - and if it is not a "life", what is it then?

1. life to me is a gift from my creator. life that i & everyone should have is to be happy & meaningful & with purpose. ok ok ok, that's very vague but as we grow older we learn more about ourselves & therefore our needs & goals & purpose. to live is the answer to the question: what is life? go figure that one out. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

2. physically it means being alive (breath, grow, multiply, decay, die). mentally thoughts & manners & reasonings get deeper therefore expansion of the mind & its capabilities. emotionally growth & empathy & sensitivity & response. spiritually connecting & direction & purpose & drive.

3. experience & choice will determine the exclusions.

4. 'live fully' is another term for it? be all that u can be, finding my true purpose (thoughts & acts) & fulfilling it. therefore becoming one's true self. like a knife truly acting as one therefore becoming a true knife in design, purpose & implementation.

5. life is up to each person's perception & ideals. so definitely 'internet' life is always perceived as imperfect & therefore anyone who lives that may get such words in their faces; get a life. why imperfect? no real interaction, meaning no voice, no 'mano a mano' (man to man, face to face), it really lacks the depth & intimacy that real life interaction can provide. now that is true, at least to me. but it doesn't mean there is no life. life is lived for as long as u know that u are alive. life i guess is more of being aware of being who u are & living it, with it, change it, make it.

this discussion can go on & on & on .... . it all comes down to each person's perception i guess. & the word 'life' is too crude & general for something so deep & wide as the universe. so who's to say that life's limited to small electrical impulses? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
