I was talking with a friend about identity formation.  They had asked if I could help them with their Facebook fantasies – they wanted me to help them with their identities online.  It was like Facebook had brought about some fantasies – of who knows what, but Facebook was the culprit.  Facebook caused them to have these fantasies.

I didn’t ask them about their fantasies – I didn’t have to.  I immediately told them that Facebook isn’t to blame for their fantasies.  Facebook is not the culprit.  They are.  The fantasies and desires come from within.  They originate in their mind and in their heart, Facebook is just the medium.  The computer screen is the portal for their desires and fantasies.  It’s not like Facebook put it in their hearts and mind, but Facebook definitely played a part in giving their desires and fantasies limbs and skin – virtually and literally.

The screen is just the portal – well maybe the computer is the portal or the software or the program or the website – it doesn’t matter.  The ideas are yours.  The fantasies begin in your head and heart.  You are responsible for whatever happens in the real world.  It might be the fantasy world that you live in for a second, but the feelings and ideas are real.

The screen is just the place where you’re making it virtually real – really just one step for reality.
