Fur Perspective
« on: November 21, 2008, 12:53:59 AM »
Well, in my observations of the last few days, I'm finding that after coming here and creating my own fursona, it's actually changing the way I look at life.

First and most prominent, it changes my views on the fandom as a group, in the way that a lot of us are just innocents with what might not be socially acceptable tastes in art literature, or lifestyle, and I think the furry fandom really is a form of artistic or social deviance.

Second, I notice a lot more different references and words, almost as if a key was turned and I'm picking up on more furry-related terms that pop up in real life, or noticing animal-related words in phrases and such. It's unusual.

And third, I find myself actually being proud of my choice of fur. I suppose this is the onset of nothing short than what is called 'furry pride'. It's a relief that reassures me that what I'm doing isn't wrong.

'growing up' isn't the right term I think. Put simply, I view life as an equation, and what I've learned here helps put in new variables that changes the outcome.

Haha... well, one of my life principals is that philosophy can be broken down into an equation that contains all the variables of life. So in essence, if you knew the problem, you could calculate the answer. Someone with the ability to see all possible variables in life and how they affect the problem would be able to know... well... everything. Life. The universe. 42. So to me, Logic is math is Philosophy is Logic. But that's just me. XD

I started looking at the world different, i see things and make random animal connections, i even focus on smells more, and i see animals as more than just food (but i still eat them) and i also make connections between what i do and what my fur would do

Thanks. I make it my job to understand the world around me the best I can.



As for smells, I've noticed those too, but didn't think about it until now. It's amazing, really.

Interestin', no good to know! :)

So this is a little story, and should us drive to think a little bit about us selfs!
 :D
What we learned about the fandom.
I hope It's not wrong with if I tell something I learned In the last week about the Furry Fandom!
I find out that a furry fandom exist and that I'm not the only one! I find many things there the same like my Ideas, like the fursuit.
But I found some difference like that furry fendom is not a little bit a religion thing!
But the most is like my way.

Maybe this wasn't a answer you like want to get but I hope it makes you happy! ;)

(Good philosopy. It's quite logical and can be applied to pretty much all actions/decisions/questions in life. I used to have a similar way of viewing the world...)
Hmm, intruiging topic. I can totally agree with what everyone is saying about how our perceptions, and actions, have changed. Since joining here I know that my acceptance of several other types of people, people as a whole and of course, accepting who I am. I've grown more sociable, more caring and possibly more mature because of it.
The farewell was premature. My definite stay is not definite. The constants are variable. The greeting was too late.
