Oscar Wilde and SL

Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900) said some truely great things. But I was looking at a list of his quotes today at www.quotationspage.com and one really stood out to me.

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth."
Oscar Wilde
This is so true for me. I can reveal alot more of my true RL self in SL than to people and friends in RL because I can hide behind the 'mask' of my avatar.It's an incredible paradox that we hide in order to reveal more of ourselves. I still can't explain how this works or why this is, but it seems Oscar had an idea about it too :)

He also said this...

"One's real life is often the life that one does not lead."

Ummmm...
