Story 1 - So, What is Cyberlove?
How does a cyber romance vary from a real life romance?
Perhaps one significant difference is that communication plays such a large
part. Words that convey feelings have enormous effect. While before
a real date we fix our hair and our clothes, on the internet we polish
our intellect, imagination and personality. In essence the sequence is
reversed - first we show our inner beauty and only after it had won victory
does the veil fall off the physical vehicle of that personality at the
time of that first meeting in person.
Story 22 - Pure Cyber Romance
If we should meet the perfect soul mate on the internet,
our wishes can only be fulfilled virtually. We must be satisfied
with the bodiless partner whose face our imagination may create.
Honeymoon then can be spent without any reservations, yet never consummated
but can continue to discover the deeper levels of personalities, the perversities
that lie beneath the surface. All this without having to actually
bother to live with another person, without the danger of HIV.
Story 23 - The Beauty and the
Beast
Much of human literature addresses humanities greatest
peace time tragedy: loneliness. On a worldwide basis (including Hungary)
approximately one third of the population lives or have suffered from loneliness.
The numbers are staggering. Even our Jewish-Greek-Christian traditions
can't seem to improve on the condition.
Story 34 - An Almost Impossible
Mission
My soul was vacant and you seem to have filled that vacuum.
Perhaps there are things whose mere existence is to complement something.
It is possible that everything that exists has its own perfect match.
Our meeting is the wonder of coincidence. My attempt may be likened
to that of the scientists who sent up the Voyager in the hopes of a chance
that someone at some time will discover its existence. Read on
Story 52 - Finding a Partner
on the Net?
Finding a partner on the net? Yes, it sounds great
especially since you can wrap yourself in anonymity. For a while anyway,
at least until the first actual meeting, which can then be a really disillusioning
experience. Just when everything comes together, the writing style,
proper use of grammar, then the voice on the telephone, the thoughtfulness.
You actually believe that reality will be this great.
