Life in the virtual world. Virtual or real life? The choice is yours

Computers until recently were a luxury that few could afford. Now a computer can be, if not all, then quite a few. The Internet has entered our lives in a powerful wave, knocking down the unprepared for the problems that it brought us. Communication, work, acquaintance, leisure and even sex on the Internet have become commonplace. Not many of the users of the World Wide Web now will be able to refuse it. On this basis, the question arises: is virtual life addictive and how dangerous is it for a person?
What is so attractive ordinary people to virtual life? The answer is simple: the failure of a person in real life, the feeling of his worthlessness and loneliness. Creating a certain image for himself on the Internet that he would like, but for some reason could not, create in real life, a person experiences satisfaction from communication, games, blogs, sites, etc. He puts on a mask of the person he is not could become in real life. No, of course not all Internet users are like that. Few see the Internet only as a leisure activity and prefer virtual communication, real. Those who, for some reason, cannot, or are not able to "make" themselves in real life, easily do it in virtual world. After all, for them it is much easier and more convenient. Ugly person, can become handsome, modest, never allowed himself to meet in real life, can become macho, old can become young again. Subsequently, few can get out of the virtual web the way they get used to the image they created, get used to the role, find like-minded people. The Internet gives such people exactly what they want: mutual understanding, communication and even virtual love. Gradually, a person moves away from real life, where, as he believes, there is nothing that he found in virtual life. Troubles at work, in the family, addiction - this is what awaits people who have changed their real life to a virtual one.

The new generation of youth that is growing up is more exposed to the influence of the Internet due to the emergence of numerous Internet games. After all, what child, and often an adult, refuses to play? The number of people playing over the Internet is growing like mushrooms after rain. What are online games designed for? Of course, to receive income from the player, by involving the player's real funds in the game. But how to get a person to invest money in the game? There is no need to force anyone, the person himself will give money for the desire to continue the game he loves. Often these are huge amounts, reaching up to a million rubles! And sometimes investing real money in the game only exacerbates the situation. The player then simply feels sorry for quitting the game because of the funds he invested in it. Sometimes a game captures a person so much that a person does not notice the troubles that arise in him associated with it. Troubles at school, at work, in the family, bad feeling due to constant sleep deprivation. Soon a person will be more like a zombie, constantly sitting near a computer, completely.

It is worth considering, but do you need it? Will you be able to get out of the great web and overcome your virtual addiction? Will you just spend your leisure time with friends or immerse yourself in this world with your head? After all, in every person lives exactly the person you want to be. And the path of acquaintance or friendship, play or love, which is easy at first glance, can later lead you to a dead end, from which no one will help you find a way out. No wonder the world that the Internet gives us is called virtual, because it is not real, but just a decoration. Behind this scenery there is not this, every day a new, world, with its beauty and unexploredness. Or maybe it's worth deleting game accounts, chats, magazines, turn off the computer and just try to see all the beauty and uniqueness of this life? You decide.

To date, a lot has been written and said about the Internet. The pros and cons of the World Wide Web are flying from all sides. Opponents and supporters prove right in all sorts of talk shows and on the pages of paper publications.

Meanwhile, the Internet lives its own separate life. Huge world, created by human hands, loves, hates, fights, laughs, creates families and destroys relationships, brings people together and moves them apart.

This world has no boundaries, it is beautiful on the one hand, but it also has a reverse, negative side. The Internet is a reflection of ourselves; evil generated by man; miracle created by man. As in a mirror, it reflects our life, our fears and complexes, desires and dreams.

Now modern man can't imagine my life without the Web. Work stops if the connection suddenly disappears. Around everyone is nervous, urgent matters are postponed, documents have to be sent by fax, and issues related to working moments have to be resolved by phone.

The Internet has become an integral part of not only work, but also our personal lives. About ten years ago, most of the population had little idea what strange word"Internet". When I didn’t have a computer yet, but my cousin did, and he even went online sometimes, I tried to find out what it was and what you could do with it. After the answer: "You can do everything on the Internet," the matter did not clear up, and my thoughts about the Internet reached a dead end. Until the moment when I sat down at the computer and opened the browser.

After some time, a computer also appeared at my house, and I could walk around the expanses of the Web for as long as I needed. And already to my mother’s question: “Well, what is the Internet, can you explain to me? What can you do there for so long?”, I answered: “That's it!”. Time passed, my mother gradually mastered the computer and, while I'm not at home, she opens the browser, reads the news, looks for some materials on work.

Yes, who would have thought that once in their mother’s distant childhood they watched TV through a magnifying glass, that on that TV, which, by the way, was not yet in every family, only two channels were broadcasting. And those lucky ones who had a TV, on warm summer evenings, put it on the window with a screen on the street, neighbors who didn’t have it yet gathered, and everyone watched some kind of movie.

We used to write letters on paper, a checkered piece of paper from the middle of a notebook. As a child, girlish letters always smelled of mother's perfume and flaunted on them at the end of the letter "kisses" - lipstick prints, and on reverse side envelopes must be printed with a felt-tip pen “Write!” or "Fly with greetings, return with an answer!" and draw hearts. With trepidation, we received the long-awaited envelope from friends and relatives. And they always worried that the letter dropped into the mailbox would definitely reach the addressee.

And sometimes, in the vanity of days, we forgot to answer letters. If they answered, then little. "Everything is fine, no change." And often lost sight of those who were once close.

Now letters are sent and received in seconds, and there is no need to send telegrams. It is enough to install one of the messengers, and the person who is on the other side of the world becomes nearby. Headphones, microphone, webcam - and thousands of kilometers do not count. Only the monitor separates you. Well, or a bad connection!

Through many sites, we find our classmates, childhood friends with whom we once lost touch. We find new friends, like-minded people and even our love. We learn languages, complete courses and get certificates. We shop without leaving home, sell, earn money, watch movies, listen to music, learn to cook and take pictures. Some "advanced" even register a virtual marriage!

But is everything so harmless in this space "on the other side"?

Of course, everything or almost everything depends on us. After all, sometimes this very virtual life sucks a person into its networks imperceptibly. Of course, there are reasons for everything. In a way, "virtual" is an escape from reality. When a person considers the World Wide Web not just as a means of communication, communication, receiving news or any useful information. This is where the danger lies. Who has not been captivated by virtual life? Someone, "having been ill" with hyper-attachment to the Internet, "cools off" to it and uses it as a source of information and communication. And someone begins to use the Network itself.

A person is more and more immersed in the virtual, forgetting about his problems, because THERE is another world. In it, you can be whoever you want and as long as your imagination is enough. Your life goes only according to the laws that you create yourself. In that world you have everything that is not in this real world. There are friends who understand you, there is love. You can defeat any enemy, you can tell anyone everything that you would never dare to say in real life. You can be brave, you can be arrogant and uninhibited. You can be a fashion model or a poet. You are waiting for the support and approval of those invisible interlocutors. This is especially important if that very support is not enough in real life. You build yourself THERE, you assemble in parts the way you would like to see yourself in reality. You gain authority.

You have your own world, and so far you have not yet realized the harm of its artificiality. The gifts there are not real, and the flowers do not smell, although they look almost like living ones. You post the best, expertly edited photo, and expect high ratings from those who are THERE in your friends. Going to sleep in the morning, you Once again You remember that you didn't call your friend. You haven't seen each other for a month, maybe more. But it would be necessary to meet, but there is no time ...

Do you have Internet at work, at home and in mobile phone. You come to visit and the first thing you do is look for a computer with your eyes or download one of the messengers from your mobile. Out of the corner of your ear listening to the conversations of friends, inappropriately answer questions and somehow keep up the conversation. You are in another world. But not to keep in touch. No! For the constant feeding of their own vanity. For my own confidence. Therefore, you think with horror that someday the door to that world may be closed. Life there is more interesting and brighter. And you can't live without her anymore.

The worst thing is that a person stops noticing his own problems in real life. Instead of solving them, it is often easier to immerse yourself in another world and experience artificial happiness. Getting grades from virtual friends is much more enjoyable than sitting in the kitchen with a friend over a cup of tea. And in love there you are not at all the same as in real life.

How many mistakes we make, being afraid to live! How much pain we deliver to our loved ones by indifference caused by some unreasonable fear! But you just need to try to be free. One time, one day. Collect the will and become decisive here, in reality. Find a way out difficult situation in life outside the network is much more pleasant, more tangible than there. Say "I love" a person, looking into his eyes, overcoming his shyness. Hold a bouquet of roses in your hands, inhale their fragrance. To see the face of a loved one in front of you, his smile, to hear the voice, to feel the breath and the warmth of the palms. Breathe in the cold winter air. Go out at night with friends to play snowballs or build a snowman. After all, this is life! Here she is, the real one!

And, finally, to understand: it doesn’t matter to me how many “friends” I have in My World, on Odnoklassniki, Vkontakte and Facebook. The important thing is that after a hard day at work I can come to my Friend's house to see good film on DVD, or gather your friends and go for a walk, to the movies, ride a carousel, anywhere! I don't care how many virtual gifts they gave me. The important thing is that after work, when I go to the store, I will see some little thing in the window, maybe an insignificant trinket, and I will want to buy it and give it to my loved one.

It is important for me that I always have time to meet with friends. We have the power to solve problems. There is this life, this world. And then there is the Internet - an invisible thread that connects me with my loved ones in other cities and countries.

It's wonderful that I have all this!

hello everyone ^-^

Today I will tell you why real life better anime! :V:

Then there will be part 2: "Why anime is better than real life."

:fire: Let's get started! :fire:

After the massive spread of the Internet, many people lost touch with real life and plunged headlong into online.

There are many examples of dependence on the World Wide Web, which has become a serious problem for mankind. But there are also positive aspects, because some people have achieved serious success in the virtual world.

Virtual or real life, which is better? A person can live without access to the Internet, even if he is addicted.

You can't live without real life.

At a minimum, you won’t get enough food from pictures on the Internet. Although there is another opinion - through the Internet you can order your own food, which partly makes virtual life acceptable.

Why is real life better?

Whatever arguments are given, but real life is much better and there are many reasons for that. At least, sitting in front of the monitor, it will not be possible to continue one's family, and this is one of the needs of a normal person.

There are many other reasons to spend most of the time in real life:

Everything is not real - the people with whom you communicate, information, relationships, and so on. Perhaps our lives are brightened up by some moments and even remote communication brings emotions, but they are far from real. A waste of time - happens every time you go to the social for a minute. networks, start watching entertainment videos or play online. Even an ordinary meeting with real friends would be more useful. No censorship - what pleases some and is considered unacceptable to others. It's about not only about pornography, but also about false information. It is easy to find some fabricated compromising information on the net or stumble upon scammers. Health - sitting in front of a monitor for hours, few people think about health problems. You come across such thoughts when there is no way back and you have to go to the doctors.

In general, it is better to live in reality, it is much more interesting. If you don’t think so, then you probably haven’t discovered all the charms yet.

When you ski down a mountainside of 1500 meters, you will be tied to a bun and launched into the water or lifted to a bird's eye view with a parachute, your opinion will definitely change.

:blush: ~Thanks for reading~ :blush:

First you need to figure out why we live at all, why does a person live? And when we answer this question, then we will return to what life in the virtual world is like and what is its danger.

What is a sense of life?

in self-realization. And in spiritual self-realization, first of all. IN spiritual growth. This body lives one life, the soul lives forever and grows with each life. A person who lives in accordance with the laws of the soul and nature is a perfect creation of nature. He is capable of everything. He is able to influence this world, make it better. Both for myself and for everyone else.

And first of all, we must find yourself, your path and follow it without fear and with your head up.

How to sing in famous song: "So that you are not lost on earth, Try not to lose yourself."

Each of us has our own path and our own goal. If we find this way, we can achieve a lot and do a lot of good things, and maybe even something great, who knows.

To do this, we must begin this search, realize our spiritual nature and find harmony and happiness. inside yourself. Then understanding of the path will come, self-confidence will come, then you will be able to discover the real you, capable of anything. Because you will be on your way, which is the best for you in this life. There is no one better than you for this mission.

This will help such spiritual practices like: yoga, pranayama, prayer, meditation alone.

Only a few make it through. Why?

First, because we are lazy. It is hard for our soul to struggle with this body, which only wants to eat and drink and do nothing. But this must be done, otherwise life will be in vain.

Secondly, in modern world there is a very a large number of distractions hindering our development and movement, factors. Not only is it simply difficult for us to cope with ourselves, but today it is ten times harder to do it than it was decades ago.

Games. Computer games. Life in the virtual world. A world where you don't have to do anything, and you are already a hero, you are the one you would dream of becoming. You there, in virtuality, have already become them. Doing nothing. It's easy there.

Market computer games today is so diverse that it can satisfy any need. He is always ready to guard your laziness. He is her ally and patron.

One has only to sit down at the computer and turn on the game, it is almost impossible to get up. One is tired, turn on the other, the third. As much as you like. This is the danger of computer games. Billions of dollars are made on human laziness. So don't worry, you you will always find how to do nothing and even pay for it.

Games can play the role of just a little rest after a hard week. After all, everyone rests in their own way. But look at your life? You are happy? Is this what you dreamed of ten years ago? Have you achieved your goals?

If not, are you doing it now? Perhaps you go to them with all your might, really tired and want to relax a bit. Then nothing gnaws at you from the inside, you know where you are going and put all your strength into it.

But if games take your all free time when you find days, weeks and years on them, and you just scored on the realization of your dreams. You are in trouble.

Life in the virtual world. What it is?

This is a tool to distract a person from the real world.

One way or another, most likely you work somewhere, in one of the organizations in the country. The state arranges everything: there is a person, he works, he pays taxes, he produces something. Why should you think about something else, want something, suddenly you think something bad. Came home from work, sit at home at the computer and live in that virtual world. Only in the morning do not forget to come to work again, albeit with a sad and unhappy face, the main thing is to come.

The virtual world is a tool for turning off the brain.

Life in the virtual world is a mindless life. A thinking person is also superfluous. Work and don't interfere. And after work the game and the Internet.

It is not only a tool for distraction from oneself and one's true nature.

From God. Man is a spiritual being, and if he can realize this and engage in his spiritual development, then, without exaggerating, I will say that such a person will be capable of anything. But this takes a lot of effort and time. Wasting them on virtual games there will be nothing left for you. You are taking your own life.

As a result. If virtual games are not for you professional activity remove them from your life. Then you have a chance to find yourself and fulfill yourself. Otherwise, do not scold fate and do not ask yourself "?".

Communication in social networks should not go beyond the limits established by Sharia

Although the communication that takes place in networks is virtual, it must be remembered that one should not go beyond the bounds of decency.

More and more people choose virtual communication and replace them with reality. Social networks create the appearance of communication and friendship, sometimes distracting people from work and even bringing discord into families...

Millions of people are sitting on social networks, looking for their first love, school mates, classmates, army friends, but in fact, they are simply burning their lives. An increasing number of people who have an idea about the computer and the Internet hang on such sites. The social network has absorbed a huge number of communication seekers around the world. The number of participants in virtual communities is growing inexorably every day. According to statistics, almost everyone, from the young to the old, is addicted to social networks and virtual communication.

Probably, for them, virtual communication is, first of all, romance, an opportunity to get away from everyday life into a world that is so different from the real one. And they go into it with their heads, they leave their real friends and even their families. Millions of people on our planet today are lost in the wilds of virtual life. Why is this happening? Why excellent remedy communication, the Internet, is turning into a trap? A monster trap that devours time, strength, emotions?

We are always in a hurry, we are always busy, we work hard. We don't have time for socializing and making friends. But the desire to communicate, the desire to be needed and liked has not disappeared anywhere. How to organize it in real life?

It was in the last century that people went to visit, to the theater, to the cinema. We talked while sitting on a bench in the park. But we are BUSY. This is not our priority.

The Internet has become a substitute for the real world. In virtual reality, everything is much simpler than in reality, it is easier to make new acquaintances, make friends and part ways. That is why the social network is so attractive to people who are dissatisfied with their lives and therefore prefer life on the Internet to reality. Many couples fall apart because one of the spouses simply cannot leave social networks. People who spend a lot of time on social networks are disturbed by hormonal balance, the immune system, dementia develops. The Internet is good and bad: someone uses it for needs, and someone - for fun.

You give up real life, trying to replace the present with a non-existent reality. Think, think: what do you get in return? Friends who will not be around at the right time, or meaningless flirting? You need to know the measure in everything: to know how long to sit in Odnoklassniki and how much time to devote to your wife and children. Don't ruin your life by hanging around the nets. Don't destroy your family. Do not break ties with people close to you.

Flirting is not cheating?

Many people manage to find a "soul mate" through the Internet. On dating sites, people get used to easy relationships. We met, immediately discussed all the details, chose a partner that they like. And if something does not suit you, someone made a mistake - they immediately crossed it off the list and forgot about it. Well, what would it seem like: flirted a little, received virtual bouquets and real compliments - is this treason? And then there are two ways of development of events. Option one: a person wants to receive flowers, compliments and much more attention from his real partner in reality (another question is whether the partner wants to change his calm sofa-television state to running around flower stalls). Is a bouquet of flowers and gifts the most important thing in life?

Second option: is flirting on the web a betrayal? The idea is gradually growing in my head that romantic date with a virtual partner in real life - this is also not scary and will only strengthen your marriage in reality. In life, you have to go through many difficulties and barriers, but on the Internet everything is simple. Whoever’s relationship is not going smoothly - they quarreled, quarreled, - one of the spouses is drawn by a magnet to Odnoklassniki. There would be no need to approach a spouse or wife to ask for forgiveness, to apologize, and instead we enjoy the virtual world.

It is also impossible to say that all the people who are on social networks are not doing well. Few men, even happily married, do not want to get confirmation of their attractiveness from "independent sources." Will he really refuse compliments and gifts, even virtual ones? And for single women, widows or with midlife crises, such communication is simply necessary so that the complexes do not develop. And there is nothing wrong if communication in social networks does not go beyond the limits established by Shariah.

Does Islam allow communication that does not go beyond, and what kind of communication is this? What can people who do not know at all talk about with other people's husbands, wives? On the same dating sites there are a lot of men and women who do not even hide that they are married, and at the same time they are looking for a girl or a guy “for a pleasant pastime”. Is this allowed in Islam?

Social networks are a tool that simplifies life and helps to solve certain tasks assigned to a person. But everything should be in moderation, so if this tool does not help, but begins to destroy your personal life, then perhaps you should abandon it. And also to reconsider your views on the current situation, because life is much more interesting and multifaceted. It remains to be hoped that in the near future the classic form of communication will come back into fashion - acquaintance and communication in real life. Although this form of communication is much more complicated than virtual and requires a lot of effort from a person. But when communicating in real life, people will be able to help you the real deal, and not a meaningless message from a stranger on your page.

People living in real world. People who are sad, suffer, rejoice. They love each other and are happy together. And others, those who are lonely, are unhappy and suffer from it. Loneliness is scary and depressing. Alone, without support, a person cannot live. Even if a person has absolutely everything in the material plane, but there is no full-fledged communication, he will always be unhappy. Having got used to communicate in a virtual space, where you can pretend to be strong, courageous, successful, a person feels happy. And if before that he had no friends, decent work, he felt insolvent and rejected, then communication in virtual reality is perceived by him as salvation. At some point, a person forgets that he is only pretending that there is an invented illusory life behind the screen. And this is not life, but only a game. Moreover, the game is quite cruel and completely harmless to the psyche. Virtual life is an illusion, just like the whole virtual world.

Life in the virtual space turns into an addiction. There is a feeling that you are loved, that you are in the thick of things, that life is raging around you. But as soon as the computer turns off, the whole world disappears, and with it, life. That's when a person begins to understand that all life is concentrated for him in a tiny point of a computer screen. And, of course, he does not become happier from this. He remained lonely, useless and uninteresting. Because there is nothing to talk about with him, he is not interesting, he even speaks his own language. And sometimes he does not even notice that he is not understood. He is even more offended by life and people and goes even deeper into his beautiful virtual world, leaving this depth less and less.

That is, today virtual life really takes life. So think about whether virtual passions are worth life and health. Use the real world to expand social contacts. The real world, human life is a constant development, expansion and transformation of reality - both internal and external. In this way, a person becomes perfect. Determine your place and purpose in the real world. Look for real ways to be who you want to be. Avoid simple ways achieve the goal: free cheese - only in a mousetrap. Virtual reality fills the "holes" in life. Live without "patches"! The computer is just a tool to enhance your abilities, not a substitute for a goal.

Everything on the Internet is at your fingertips

Do what you want in real life! Look for friends in reality. The virtual world only gives the illusion of belonging to a group and does not develop any real communication skills. Fill your life with positive events, actions. Have your own clear views, beliefs. Avoid deceit and anonymity in virtual reality. Be "here and now", not "there". Learn to control your own time and time at the computer.

Dear brothers and sisters, do not trust strangers online. On the Internet, each person can pretend not to be who he really is. Do not let children use the Internet without your supervision - they can learn a lot of unnecessary and even forbidden things.

When compiling this article, I would like our brothers and sisters to pay attention to the importance of this topic, so that each person concludes that you should not exchange your real life, full of experiences and joyful moments, for life in a virtual world invented by the person himself.

May the Almighty help us not to go beyond the Sharia and follow the path shown to us by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Amine!
