Ama Avro (France) ~ Passage In the sixteenth century, Michel Eyquem, Lord of Montaigne—born 28 February 1533 and died 13 September 1592 in Saint-Michel-de Montaigne (Périgord-Dordogne-France)—humanist philosopher, Renaissance writer, tries to describe how to understand humans. For him, man is a being very limited. The powers of the body and soul of man are not perfection. Diseases of the body and soul of man are numerous. This limited man: can he have access to the knowledge of the good, beautiful, and true? He responds to this question by saying that the man is not given once and for all but is constantly changing. It teaches us to love life as it is, as it happens, rather than always another dream. He teaches "the middle way," as he says, which is suspicious of all forms of extremism. It promotes pleasure, serenity, action. And he says "I do not paint man; I paint the way (passage)." (Essays, Book III , Chapter II) My Story: For me, "Second Life" is my second life. When one is led to live a half-life, for health reasons, for example, Second Life gives us the opportunity to dream, to make new discoveries, improbable encounters, share knowledge, create ... without moving from our chair, without leaving our room ... just by from the other side. All chairs have feet at the end of their four legs. Those we do not always have. Legs crossed, they rest. Feet ready for walking, they take me on a trip. The keys open doors, but sometimes you can also go through walls ... Behind there necessarily has something to discover. In SL, imagination is creation. My meetings are exchanges and learning. Sitting on a chair, I can however travel... travel from darkness to light, in the joy of creation. Learn and travel with a child's soul. "Passage"...
