In
our favor or against us, at some times in our lives a sense of regret takes
hold of us.
Regret is one of those feelings that seem to trouble everyone's life,
even our virtual ones. If socializing in a multicultural
virtual world means sharing cultures,
experiences and ways of living, it
also means dealing with opposing ideas, actions and moral and ethical values which
may lead to incompatibilities.
What makes us unique
individuals, our own way of
thinking and acting is present in everything we do and when interacting with other people. A less friendly or misjudged behavior or
attitude, a word placed in the wrong moment, a thoughtless action or any other decisions
can trigger negative reactions and a whirlwind of negative feelings that may result in broken
ties, lost friendships or any other consequences to the various degrees of
seriousness.
Dealing with the consequences of our actions is not easy but living with
regret is painful. Sadness, self-punishment, concert are words that best
describe how you feel after hurting somebody or even yourself. So how can you cope with regret?
We traveled the streets of Second Life and the SL Forums asking
residents the question: Regrets in Second Life - Is there anything you wish
you never did in SL? The SLE would like to thank those who have promptly agreed
to participate.
