I got the following message from an online friend from New Jersey. She has informed me she sent it as a joke and thought I would get a kick out of it. I dont think this letter entitled "real raver love" is a joke. After reading it a couple of times I could see how it could be taken as a joke. But, when I first read it I became irate, upset, and just plain angry. She never included her own message w/ it, so I had no idea to take it as a joke. Although, even if she did include something like "hey steve, check this out. Its F'in hilarious!!!" I would have been offended. I dont know about the rest of the Bluelight family, but I take our scene seriously. I love the people, I especially love the music, the vibe, and all the idiosyncracies that go along w/ clubbing and raving. Raving/clubbing is what I love to do. It is where I feel at home away from home. IT IS MY WAY OF LIFE. I have learned a lot of different things from the people I have come in contact w/(good and bad), from all the different situtations(good and bad), and everything else(good and bad).
I have no clue if what this person wrote was a joke or not. I dont care. It actually hurt me to read what u r about to read. Yes, there are some people out there that some of this stuff describes....but I assure you, none of these kind of people have a clue what the scene is about. One thing, though, I am thankful that I read it was that it made me sit back and reflect on myself and my past and analyze it. And I found out that I am not a bad person, I have made a lot of mistakes in my life tho. None of which I regret.
I guess I am posting this to show what PLUR is not about. This letter could be highly offensive to you, or it could be taken as a joke (apparently what it was intended for....I dont see how tho). You can decide for yourself. Here is what PLUR means to me: PEACE....peace is within you....it must be worked out internally...in your heart....this way u can be at peace w/ the world around you. LOVE.....love can come in many different forms....but YOU must accept it and be able to identify it.....YOU must also be able to give it out....in plenty....to those who are deserving of it.....no love recieved....no love given. UNITY......unity is something that you cannot go w/ out in this lifetime, just like all of the other aspects of PLUR......unite with those around you that show you love and give you peace of mind.....once a true union is formed it can be harder to break than a diamond, you must also show love and give peace of mind to those who you choose to unite w/. RESPECT......respect is like the super-glue of PLUR.....the anchor.....respect must be earned by others, and yourself, in order to recieve it......if respect is lost, then all of PLUR is lost......respect yourself.....respect others.....respect GOD and everything around you.....respect the love and peace of mind you receive from a true union and that in itself is extremely rewarding. PLUR is not to be taken lightly, live by it, take it as seriously as you would a heart attack, and RESPECT PLUR!
Well go on and read the following and make up ur own mind on what it stands for.....a joke...or an EYE opener....or whatever you take it as. It deeply saddened me to even read words of this nature....call me super-sensitive.....tell me I have no sense of humor (couldn't be farther from the truth)....whatever you want. I am only being real to myself.
LATER!
PLUR!
