A broader perspective in life.. seeing our differences in Mylot.

Philippines
June 29, 2008 9:00pm CST
I've been Mylotting actively for almost 2 months straight. I've noticed something different about me and my perspective in life. I am still waiting for the chance to leave the country again (just did it once to HongKong but I was still in my teens) and experience culture and traditions of different countries and people. MyLot, for me, is the next best thing. I encounter a lot of different people from all walks of life. Different ideas, sometimes completely opposite, cool ideas, ideas I haven't even thought of. But one thing I always take note, our differences. It's definitely not a bad thing. Knowing our differences and setting them aside, that's what matters. For me, it's more than what most books can offer. How do you see mylot? how did it affect you?

I definitely agree with you. We meet all sorts of people and learn different interests and idea. Self expression here in mylot, I guess, is the most fulfilling factor. It's very nice as well to have lots of friends here right? I'm one of 'em. Take care!

yeah even us filipinos we have our differences how much more other foreign people right? but for me when they answer on my threads i can see & realize that they are right too & later on i will think that my perspective is wrong coz while im posting here, i also learn. but for some people who posted against my opinion, i just respect them coz that's their perspective in life..

Very well said sis! Yeah, sometimes opinions may be different from what we have. And you're right, even if that person is just a few inches/feet away, theirs will still be different. And that way, we learn sometimes and start to value other people and their opinions.

Yeah and the possibilities are almost endless. We learn how other people think and how other people deal with life and we learn from it most of the time. I feel a bit weird though, you see having all those different experiences, ideas, opinions, it's like the culmination of what life really is or how life is really defined. But it's a good feeling that we may not all physically connected (miles apart even) and yet we share these things may it be different in nature or the same. Thanks!

Yup.. Mylot is a large community of people from all walks of life, gathered here.. IN mylot, we shared our experiences and give advices to ple ^_^ We learnt about each other's cultures and beliefs, foster a stronger relationship between us, as well as voicing out on things that we are both happy and unhappy with ^_^

Yup, correct ^_^ This is what life is all about ^_^ Learning and experiencing and sharing ^_^ So what when we can do all those things, but with no one to share with?? Life will be so boring and dull..

A toast to that as well kun. Yeah, we really learn a lot and share what we know. We have very little time to learn stuff and see what other's experiences are. A single lifetime is nowhere near close to learning a lot. Getting past the barrier of distance, mylot brings us together. I agree on that, there will always be happy and unhappy moments.

zeroflash it has made me more open minded and happier, meeting people from many different cultures and countries. it is really exciting and so rewarding too. I have learned so much and in some ways we are all different and yet all alike as we all love, and live, and work, and enjoy days off. it is a real learning experience for me.

I agree to the nth level! ahahha. Most of the time, we discuss things that we may share in common but have differences in opinion on it. But when we try and think, we have lots and lots of things in common. They usually are the little things and the simple things. Definitely a great experience! Thanks my friend!

Interesting discussion. And I agree with you. I've read things on Mylot that have kind of put certain things in a new light for me. Even if I don't agree to what someone's saying I still take the time to take their opinions in, you know? It's really cool seeing cultures of all types in one main hangout.

Thank you! I definitely agree with you on that. There are lots of different opinions and most of them we don't really expect. But we do respect them and that's what matters. Sometimes we'll run into opinions where we say "where did that come from?" or "I didn't think of seeing it that way". The differences get set aside and we start to realize what we have in common.

We can burst out our ideas, thoughts, thinkings, opinions. And can learn so many things from different people, different culture, different manners and different thoughts. Even I have many things to do my daily work, I try to give 30 minutes per day to read. Cause I love to read. You not necessary to reply all if you don't want. all depends in our hand. But if we want to get more friends and want to get more response for you, you must response to others. I know this is quite cool side! I agreed..

That was great my friend! Exactly what most of us experience. I'm happy as well that mylot can complement your passion for reading and being open. Well, I just got used to it though. I do have very few which I haven't responded to but I try my best. I try to manage my time effectively. Thanks and take care!

hello i've been in mylot for 6 days now and i cannot seem to get enough.I am happy to know that our differences can be set aside to help people those needs our help just by giving our opinion ,suggestion and information about something.I feel we are connected eventhough we can't see each other and not know each other that long but still it's a nice feeling to have that we can find real friend in mylot.I say real because most of us or them give honest opinion .And most of all This are the people that i don't know personally but still find time to help specially by giving some information on other sites to earn and everything.Sometimes also i feel worried to some discusion that has been opened by others about their lives that after logging out.I still can't sleep thinking of the best solution i could give.Mylot has given me a chance to reach out to somebody that i might help in other ways.Thanks guys

Hey there Snow! Wow that's really good. I'm happy that you're really having a great time here. Yeah, even though most of us are miles apart, you can certainly feel your friends that they are almost beside you. You can be surprised at most people. However diverse our cultures and beliefs are, we are still the same. We will always have something in common. Yeah, sometimes we really get into it right? We try to think as hard as we can. Take care and have a good day.
