As the stress of the holidays gets more and more prevalent, let's all try to remember the real people behind the avatars out there. Oftentimes when we log into this virtual world called Second Life we bring our real life stresses with us. We are less tolerant of others. Or perhaps even we hold certain individuals to a higher standard than others because they hold a certain title. Sometimes a chat group is having a discussion that annoys me to no end. I close it. If a person makes me stabby, I mute them. I try to avoid drama at all costs. Some people are just naturally negative. They don't realize they are sucking the life out of everyone around them or swimming in the pit of their own dispair. It happens. Sometimes clan politics suck. I wish we could all just be. However, we all play the Bloodlines game and that entails certain business tactics whether we like it or not. With 300+ active members you are bound to have personality clashes.
As a Duchess my role is to hear the grievances of clan members if they cannot find resolve with their liege. I take this seriously. I try to find compromise. I also try to do everything I possibly can to lift the energy in the clan. I attend every event if I am online. I document it all on the blog. I challenge myself to find something positive in each person I meet and to tell them. Those are my personal choices. Sometimes I fail. I do the best I can. No one will ever know what all I do for others and that is okay. It is when people start making demands of me or treating me as weak because I do so much is wrong. And I will not tolerate it. 19 days and counting...
