Jack, Are You Jack when on the Net

This article i am posting here was writen months ago, in my summer vacation. I was then confused about to what a degree the behavīors on the net can explain a man's true colors.

Jack, are you Jack when on the net

 

Who are you when you are surfing the internet. Your ID says you are a pig though your true name is jack, maybe you are no longer who you really are in the real world. You may say, come on, that’s no big deal, we are just in different names. Is it really that simple? I have been wondering for days.

 

Actually, what you are called on the net is not the point, the point is how you act on it. You act more like a jack or unlike a jack. The true jack may be an introverted boy, who seldom speak to the classmates around him, but he surprisingly talks on net freely, acts so friendly and passionate. So that a question comes to us, who is jack, who is the real jack?

 

On the net, we would like to communicate with a stranger, despite he or she is good looking or ugly, rich or poor, so that we make friends with one another easily. We share our stories on our blogs, we talk about life, work, love, music on QQ, MSN, skype things like that, whenever, wherever, as long as you have a computer that is connected to the internet. Our world has greatly enlarged, our life has been more or less changed, our definition of friend has been given a new sense. Before you, your world has been separated into two parts, the real part and the virtual part. So that you may have two choice, to live in the real world as what you used to be, or to live in the virtual world to grant you a new life, to be who you want to.

 

He was a kind person who was always be there when someone needed his help, but there was a time, when something unexpected came up, he was misunderstood by others and got hurt, so that he would fear to be misunderstood again, and hesitated to give a hand when he is needed.

 

Amazingly, on the net he is so passionate to help others, give some guidance to the young people when they are in troubles, or help them solve the problems in study. So people would feel who is the real himself, the one on the net? In my opinion, the one on the net is more himself, because he is a good guy, innately always preparing to help others, but only on the net he shows who he really is. We can’t judge a person just from how he acts in the real world.

 

So, answer my question, jack, are you jack when I see you on the net?

Everybody's born to be multi-faced. You may find the more introverted he is, the more passionate he shows online regardless whether he is sincerely or mendacious. That's another character inside him.  He may covered up this face intendedly before. We should not be confused who he really is, but wonder whether there's another he we have not unveiled.

-----------------------

Okay, I personally don't think this article can be meaningful in any aspect...

The one who dresses up professionally and goes to work everyday is ME!

The one who wears jeans with holes walking on beach is ME!

The one who carries a $2000 handbag holding Brad's hand in his company Christmas party is ME!

The one who politely answers Duke Windsor's question in a London accent is ME!

The one who has a BBQ party at home and talks all the dirty jokes with my firends is ME!

The one who is leaving you this comment in a bllody harsh way is also ME!

The Internet is part of my life but it is not all of my life......I am just who I am no matter where and when...

As long as Jack is not asking my Credit Card Number on the Internet....I won't give a shit who he is!

Even he does, I will tell him to get fucked!

P.S.

To Janelotus,

Since you can handle personal attracks so WELL, I have to leave this one to you:

Your English really sucks!

The whole paragraph is nonsense!

You even can't understand what Daniel really means in his article!

Also, your "polite" Chinese friends will never tell you how suck your English is.....They all leave the work to me....

And I so love doing that, babe  ^_^

Is Jack your friend? Since you mentioned that he was once misunderstood by others and afterwards had the fear to be misunderstood again,I think you can give him a hand to help him conquer his psychological fear and then I believe he can show the same kindness and enthusiasm in his real life.
