This is Second Life (SL).  We have characters. The choice is what genre do you want to be? I prefer comedy but for some reason those around always prefer the drama. Think maybe it's because they feel they are the puppeteer and they have their av act out different scenarios. Thing is, when it comes down to it, this is a scenario that we create in our minds, and it doesn't always have to be so serious. Life is too important to be taken seriously. We should embrace laughter and bringing smiles to those around us. Tears, anguish, frustration, what a waste of one's energy. So much can be created in SL if you are positive. Many opportunities are available for those who can venture out beyond the drama. To me its stiffling, suffocating, takes all of my energy to wade through it. Lots here say they aren't into drama so let this be a reminder to those who are. Leave your dramas in Real life (RL).  There is really no reason to act negetively here. Or ban it even in RL for that matter. Absolutely no need for the drama. Unless you are on a stage.

Why is it that the surf community is full of drama? Is it the competitive nature in us? In RL, if you acted that way, you wouldn't be on a team for long. Need to know the definition of team?

Team is to join together in a cooperative activity. A group of people constituting one side in a contest or competition. A group of people working together in a coordinated effort.

Do you see drama anywhere in that definition? A group of people working together is not drama. Keep that in mind as you surf and join the surf community. Work together to create lasting friendships and memories that you will carry for the rest of your life.
