Are you more yourself here or in real life?

[ChristineM]

I am I, here or elsewhere. Some subjects come up on RF that are not generally discussed in the big wide world but if they do i let my views be known

In relation to discussing religion.

Outside of online forums, I never discuss my views on religion. Ever. It's simply never brought up. In real life, I think people are generally more concerned about their jobs than discussing something like religion.

It is only here on the forum where I am able to express myself in relation to this topic.

What about you?

It’s the same here as IRL for me.

It is much easier to talk about religious matters here, since most members have an interest in the subject, than in the outside world where the culture is becoming more secular and less driven towards spirituality and religion.

About the same, except in real life, I will not have a thing to do with anyone that I have marked as a wilful fool. Fools get my compassion, but wilful fools are invisible to me.

If a wilful fool means "someone doing something, knowing that it's not good or healthy to do".

I know alcohol is not good for my health. Once a year or so, I take 1 glass. I have less control in my overeating habit (eat more than needed) but try hard to overcome it, and slowly succeed.

Overeating is scientifically proven to be detrimental to your health.
So I do consider myself a wilful fool.

Do you want to claim you have no such foolish habit? Or is your habit invisible to you?

There was a time my habits were invisible to me. Great thing about any Master is, that they make these things "very visible". Impossible to ignore (even if I try hard).

Both ... to be perfectly honest. I just approach things differently in different environments. Either way, I live as honest as possible ... I mean I'm as true to me as I can possibly be here or there.

In real life people don't talk about religion. So, I come here.
