Spiritual needs get a second life

monk avatar

Working at Respectance has changed our lives enormously. We got to see things, meet people and read about subjects that we never thought we would occupy ourselves with. Nobody likes to be focussed on the passing of life for the major part of his day. But if you like to do a good job, you will have to understand whom you are doing it for.

What we found, is that there is a huge need for people to connect. Talk to others about what bothers them. Or chat about what makes them feel good. The internet is the perfect medium to make you feel better or happier.

The need for a deeper dimension online, after all the rather superficial focus of most networks, did not only get noticed by us. Now the Jesuits went online. After having done their missionary penetration in Africa and China, they now are aiming to find new followers online. The new territory to spread the word. It is not just a simple site, it is a presence in SecondLife. For those who still think that the trend is going to stop with technical use of the internet, think again. Or rather, feel again.

    I have found the online community such a blessing for matters such as this….I have connected with people in the same “boat” as myself and for want of any better term now feel as though I am really “not alone” To be able to write and “talk” of those passed is a tremendous help…even if no-ones listening!!
    I can come to my tribute here and smile or cry but its a good thing to me either way……

Have your say
